One South Carolina woman must have really wanted to crack a cold one for Christmas, going so far as to stab her husband with a ceramic squirrel after he failed to bring some home.
Helen Williams, 44, was not too happy when her husband returned to her North Charleston, S.C., home without beer on Christmas. But instead of going without some brew, the South Carolina woman instead beat and stabbed the man with a ceramic squirrel, the Associated Press reported.
According to the Charleston County Sheriff’s office, deputies arrived at Williams’ North Charleston home Wednesday morning to find her husband covered in blood. Williams, in an attempt to cover her tracks, told police the man fell and cut himself. However, she couldn’t explain why her hands and clothing were also covered with blood. The victim was found with a substantial amount of blood on his face, Charleston’s NBC affiliate reported.
Williams went on to tell police her husband, from a common-law marriage, went to a store to purchase some beer, but — as it was Christmas Eve — was unable to buy any because stores were closed. The man returned home and began making a sandwich when Williams turned violent against her husband.
The woman allegedly took the ceramic squirrel and beat the man in the head, then proceeded to stab him in the shoulder and chest.
Williams was arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence. Bond was set at $10,000.
