Jennifer McCarthy, 48, got into an argument with her 53-year-old lover about space aliens, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun. McCarthy left her Santa Fe residence, then came back and changed into lingerie. The outfit was accessorized by a silver handgun placed in her vagina, with which she began to have “inner course,” [sic] according to the affidavit.

While cleaning the chamber, McCarthy reportedly posed the question, “Who is crazy, you or me?” before pulling out the gun and pointing it at her boyfriend’s head, the Albuquerque Journal reported. The boyfriend told deputies he wrested the weapon away from her and put it first in the toilet, then the trash can.

McCarthy was charged with aggravated assault on a household member.

Her LinkedIn profile describes her as an artist.

[SIZE=6]Woman sues pub after alleged mishap at Ann Summers party[/SIZE]

A woman who claims she injured her ribs when she was knocked down at an Ann Summers lingerie party has sued the pub where the event was held.

Sylvia Deehan alleges she had been pushed by another woman who was striving to grab a prize, described “as a ring that goes around a certain part of a man,” which had been thrown in the air by an Ann Summers representative in The Lough Inn at Loughlinstown, Co Dublin.

The alleged incident occurred as part of a ladies night held in the public house, prior to a performance by the ‘Hunks of Desire’ male stripper troupe.

Ms Deehan (46), a mother of two of Maple Avenue, Ballybrack, Dublin, has sued Loughlinstown Inn Ltd, trading as the Lough Inn Public House, for damages. Her claims are denied.

The action came before Dublin Circuit Court last June but was dismissed and Ms Deehan has appealed that ruling to the High Court.

Today, Mr Justice Max Barrett was told, before the stripper event, Ms Deehan and a friend were one of several pairs that participated in a game involving bursting balloons between their bodies.

After she and her friend tied for first place with another couple having burst the most balloons, the Ann Summers representative threw the prize up in the air between them, Ms Deehan told her counsel Mark De Blacam SC.

As she went for the prize, she was shoved aside by another woman and fell against the leg of a loudspeaker, injuring her ribs, she said. She was unable to breathe properly and was crouched over. Her sister took her to hospital that night and she spent a fortnight in bed recovering from her injuries.

Cross-examined by Joe McGettigan SC, for the defence, Ms Deehan denied she was asked to leave the pub by a member of staff that night. She said she fell after being pushed and denied any injuries she suffered happened as a result of an incident outside the pub.

When it was put to her many of those present that night did not see her fall, she said it was disgusting that people had “told lies about me”. She was “not a liar” and had appealed because of the lies said about her. She denied drinking jagerbombs — a form of cocktail —before the show and said she had only drunk a pint and a half of lager that night.

She denied she tried to take a chicken curry meal, provided by the pub as part of the ladies night, from a waiter before it was her turn to be served. “I never did nothing to no curry,” she said.

Kim Henderson, a friend of Ms Deehan’s, said she saw her friend fall and injure herself after the prize was thrown in the air. When asked by Mr McGettigan whether the prize was “big or small”, there was laughter in court.

Cross-examined by Mr McGettigan, she agreed she had signed a statement after the incident saying she did not see the alleged fall in the pub, which is her local, after being approached by the bar’s manager.

She said she also came under pressure from her husband not to go against the pub. After she signed the statement, she said she felt sick and asked to withdraw it but was told she could not.

The case resumes next week.

PI claims seem to be a form of entitlement for a certain section of society and the lawyers who practise in the area. Most “normal” people in that situation dust themselves off and get on with things and only sue for a serious/life changing injury.

Fuck sake. What hope do those 2 kids have with a cunt like that for a mother. Who would be paying for her legal representation by the way @artfoley ? Does the state provide legal aid for silly whores taking nonsensical claims against pubs?

Nope, well unless they can satify the legal aid board they have a realistic prospect of success and that a reasonably prudent person with their own means would take the case out of their own money.

Normally these cases are taken by private practitioners on a no win no fee basis in the hope the pub will swttle

German customs officials have intercepted a package addressed to the Vatican containing 14 condoms filled with cocaine.

Newspaper Bild am Sonntag said that a box packed with 340 grammes of cocaine valued at €40,000 were seized at the international airport in the eastern city of Leipzig in January.

The narcotics, posted from an unnamed South American country, were in liquid form and had been poured into the condoms and placed in the package addressed to the main postal centre at the Vatican.

The newspaper, citing a German customs report, said authorities handed the package with the drugs to a police officer at the Vatican with the aim of laying a trap for a culprit who might try to claim it.

But Bild said the parcel had remained there since January.

German investigators believe the intended recipient, who remains unknown, was likely tipped off that the package had been intercepted, the newspaper said.

The Vatican office of Interpol is now working on the investigation with German police, according to the report.

German customs authorities could not immediately be reached for comment.

Using cocaine to smuggle in condoms obviously.

Kerry footballer Aidan O’Mahony demonstrated his handling ability in a courtroom yesterday during his garda duties in Cork.

The inter-county star was present in Cork District Court when a chair was flung within the courtroom where his quick reflexes were called into action.

O’Mahony was in the course of his duties of keeping order when the defendant at the time Jason Landy, aged 25, of no fixed address, stood up and shouted obscenities before grabbing one of the chairs nearby and hurling it in the air.

The Kerry native put his hands out to block the chair before grabbing it, before the gardai present escorted Landy back to his holding cell.

Judge Leo Malone remanded the accused in custody to appear by video link from prison today.

A 25-year-old man who put on a bullet proof vest and asked to be shot was killed yesterday morning in South Carolina.

Blake Randall Wardell had met up with friends in the wee hours of the morning at a house garage when he pulled on a bulletproof vest.

Wardell then asked his 18-year-old friend Taylor Ann Kelly to shoot him, according to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina.

Kelly agreed but when she shot the gun the small-caliber bullet hit above the kevlar portion of the vest and went into Wardell’s heart, killing him.

“It wasn’t a fight. They were actually going to take a shot at the vest,” Anderson County Deputy Coroner Don McCown said. “They were going to shoot the victim with the vest on. And he was shot in the chest, just above the vest.”

CPR was being attempted on Wardell when authorities arrived at about 2.40am; however, Wardell was pronounced dead at the scene.

Kelly was charged with involuntary manslaughter which could carry a five-year prison sentence if she’s convicted. She was being held in jail pending a bond hearing.

Only read about this today. Very odd case.

Like an episode on Brass Eye.

Thousands of sheep in Australia are believed to have died after eating a poisonous plant that makes them “bash their heads on posts and rocks until they crack open”.

The usually-rare toxic plant, misleadingly named the “Darling pea”, has spread rapidly in the aftermath of bushfires in New South Wales – which themselves caused devastation for sheep farmers in the area.

Now vets have said that many of the animals which survived the fires face a new and highly addictive threat.

North West Local Land Services regional veterinarian Bob McKinnon told the Sydney Morning Herald that once sheep started eating the plant they exhibit behaviour “similar to that of a drunk”.

“They lose weight to start with and then get staggery, the progression gets worse, they get unco-ordinated and depressed, they don’t know where their feet are.”

He said that “staring eyes”, “head pressing” and “muscle tremors” were other symptoms, until eventually the animals “just go to a post and bang their head on it till they crack their heads open”.

The task of bringing in herds that would normally take six hours instead takes “days”, Mr McKinnon said. “It’s like dealing with a thousand heroin addicts.”

Just one farming family in Coonabarabran said they had lost 800 sheep to the deadly plant. Stephen and Louise Knight said the animals were missing when they counted up the stock at shearing time.

“It was just devastating they weren’t there when we went to get them.

“The fire was a distressing thing to have happen, we lost so many stock, fences, pasture - and then for it to come back with a terrible noxious plant like this, it’s awful and very distressing.”

The plant, from the Swainsona family of desert peas native to Australia, has toxins which build up when sheep graze on it for extended periods. It attacks an enzyme involved in metabolism, ultimately crippling the animal’s central nervous system.

There is no cure, Mr McKinnon said, other than to “get the animals off it in time”. “But if they’ve been on it too long the damage has been done and it doesn’t repair to where it should be,” he said.

Just discussing that. Either she has a huge fucking wardrobe, or she was an extreme hoarder. Hard to understand really. I’ll get a lie of the land this weekend at the Laois SFC tie involving Portarlington.
