Profiles in Bad Relationships

In Fond du Lac, Wisconsin:

Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, the boyfriend called 911 to report the incident, according to the Fond du Lac Police Department report.

The woman had called several times that night, apparently wanting to come over to the man’s home, according to the report.

He’d told the woman he didn’t want her over that night because she had been drinking, the document indicates.

[…]

When she arrived, the man — armed with a video camera — stood on his porch and captured the woman throwing eggs at him and his home, according to the report.

The woman then rushed the man, trying to get the video camera away from him.
The man ran across the street and the woman went into his home on Second Street, locked herself in and started screaming, according to the report.

The man — still videotaping the incident — got in through a back door, according to the report. The woman had ripped a light fixture from the ceiling and dumped over some dog food.

[…]

The man called 911 at 2:33 a.m. to report the attack. While on the phone, the woman allegedly took a small table and hit the man in the back with it, according to the report.

Both parties should probably be happy the girlfriend was just throwing eggs. In Moscow:

A small bomb detonated under the driver's seat of a Toyota Camry sedan near Pushkin Square late Monday, seriously injuring the owner.

[...]

Investigators are examining the possibility that the incident was related to marital problems the businessman was having, Moskovsky Komsomolets said.

Explosives and marital strife proved fatal last month in northeast Moscow when, in a heated argument, a man threatened his ex-wife with a grenade, which accidentally detonated and tore off his arm. The man subsequently died in the hospital.
