I have news! http://www.wftv.com/news/18391669/detail.html#-

OCALA, Fla. -- A woman in Ocala was jailed for hitting herself in the face with a frying pan and then blaming her estranged husband.

Investigators said Kelley Lemay called police to her estranged husband's apartment twice Tuesday night after an argument.

Police said the first time they came out Lemay didn't have any marks. The second time, she had a swollen eye.

Officers had handcuffed her estranged husband, but she came clean, telling them she had hit herself.

She was arrested for filing a false police report.

Anytime a person is arrested after hitting themselves in the face with a frying pan, you know it has to be florida. Does anyone else agree this is the strangest place on earth?

um...she didn't get arrested for "hitting herself in the face with a frying pan". She got arrested for filing a police report saying that someone ELSE did, which was a lie.

She got someone arrested, claiming he inflicted an injury that, in fact, she inflicted on herself. She lied on a police report, and someone was arrested as a result. That's a fairly serious thing, and police don't like it when their time gets wasted. It's also a crime.

So, while your article of "woman commits crime, gets arrested" is a nice bit of justice done, I fail to see what's so funny about it.

First of all, I never said she was arrested "for" hitting herself in the face with a frying pan. She was arrested "after" doing so.

So, while your article of "woman commits crime, gets arrested" is a nice bit of justice done, I fail to see what's so funny about it.

Clearly, you cannot envision the trailer-park where this undoubtedly occurred. Also, you have no sense of humor about a woman deliberately hitting themselves in the face with a frying pan, and then getting insult added to injury by being arrested for blaming someone else.

But Curly never called the police when Moe stuck him in a letter presser.
Also, has anyone noticed how the things you laugh at in the Three Stooges are very close to the cringe-worthy moments of 24? I think Jack Bauer is just an embittered stooge.

There's nothing strange about it. She has committed a serious crime, intending to do severe damage to a person by putting them in prison.

It's only fair that one doing that should be subjected to a similar punishment themselves.

False police reports are common. Around here, a woman got arrested for claiming to be kidnapped when she was really just trying to cover up an affair from her husband.

From what I understand, most foreigners don't know how the Japanese bath houses work. Something like they don't wash themselves before getting into the bath water and that irritates the Japanese.

Can't say really. but I do believe most Japanese would be to polite to not say anything. so it's easier to 'ban all foreigners' than risk either 1) embarrassement of explaining something even a child would know or 2) confrontation which could end up as a bad repuation for the business.

My Japanese teacher once said, "If you go to Japan and want to really know how good your Japanese is, talk to the children. the Adults will be polite, but the children will be honest."

Then do what some of my military friends did. Make friends with the locals and learn their customs. They will get you into places that normally don't serve foreigners. ;)

Food Network had a series "$40 a Day". she went to some of the more expensive places and used up her $40. I know places where she could've had three big meals and have over $15 left over.

Before judging, I should know what the policemen were told, and by whom, when they were called for the second time. Anyway, it looks like she didn't want to blame her husband, not anymore, at the very least.
I wonder, is filing a false report any reason to arrest someone? She could just have been tried without being arrested, but I understand that US judiciary system looks quite strange to me.

Yes, filing a false police report is a reason to arrest someone because it's against the law. And no, I don't think she could be tried without being arrested. The police and prosecutors have to follow procedures to the letter. Filing a false police report -- especially one that, essentially, sought to frame someone else for a violent crime they never committed -- is very serious. It's not like a parking ticket.
