Woman Allegedly Assaults Boyfriend With Fish

S A G I N A W, Mich. - Beware of a woman scorned - or allegedly armed with a mounted fish.

A woman was arrested May 3 on allegations that she used a mounted fish with a pointy nose to attack her live-in boyfriend, say police in Saginaw, Mich., who responded to a domestic disturbance and found a 25-year-old man who claimed he was the victim of a knife assault.

According to the police report, the man had small cuts on his arms, right leg and left shoulder. He also had a bite wound on the left shoulder. When questioned, the man's girlfriend allegedly told authorities her attack was an act of retaliation. According to investigators, she said she bit her boyfriend after he bit her first. She denied wielding a knife but allegedly admitted grabbing the fish after he had thrown her down and hit her repeatedly.

Investigators could not find evidence of knife usage at the scene, but observed that the mounted fish resembled a swordfish. The accused woman awaits formal charges.
