A Portland man attacked his ex-girlfriend, after she broke up with him. Sarah Harris had broken up with 27 year old Donald Earl Fite III by phone. When she returned to her Portland apartment she found him lying on her bed pleading to work things out.

Harris tried to leave, but Fite shoved her against a wall, grabbed her hair and tossed her against a bathtub. Harris broke away and when she returned with a police officer she found her bright purple betta fish named “DeLorean” on the floor with a knife through it.

According to court records, Fite quickly admitted killing the fish, telling police: “If she can’t have me, then she can’t have the fish.”

Fite pleaded guilty to animal abuse and domestic violence assault.

The Associated Press reported that “Fite’s attorney, Tom Macnair, said that killing the fish was a “very low point” in his client’s life.”He is absolutely mortified and ashamed about what he did to the fish,” MacNair said in Multnomah County Circuit Court.”

And Just when you Thought Things Couldn’t get Weirder!!!!

The Associated Press also stated “Prosecutor Eric Zimmerman told Judge Eric Bergstrom that Harris plans to get a memorial tattoo of the fish and wanted Fite to pay for it. Bergstrom, however, declined to make Fite pay restitution for the tattoo.”

The judge put a restraining order against Fite ordering him to stay away from Harris, but said he could still have contact with fish.

Taking a Look at The World of Odd and Unusual Headlines!

The question all students should be asking themselves is: Where do I want to work after college? If you are a hotheaded student like myself and think that at times in life you may question your superior or even cuss at them, Spain is your answer to having the hope of keeping your job.

The Associated Press noted that: “A court in Barcelona says insulting your boss with one particularly foul obscenity is not grounds for dismissal, insisting the slight is common in arguments in Spain and not that big a deal.”

An employee was unhappy with his paycheck and was disputing his case with his superior when things got a little heated. Some of the timeless four letter words were released as vocal ammunition. The boss was not going to take any more verbal abuse, so he fired the employee on the spot.

The employee took his ordeal to the higher powers who decided in his favor. The employer has the option to give the employee his job back or pay him $9,472 in compensation. It is not clear which choice the employer picked.

Just a Little Joy Ride!!!!!

In odd news coming out of Ocala Florida, authorities say a man was charged with driving under the influence while bearing his all in his birthday suit.

The Associated Press stated that a “Marion County deputy was driving on Interstate 75 early Tuesday when he spotted what appeared to be a naked man on a motorcycle. The deputy caught up with 45-year-old J. Dante Krauss at a red light and stopped him.”

It turns out that Krauss was a man of few words and would not tell the officer where he was coming from or where he was headed. He admitted he had been drinking and blew a .08 which was enough to allow him to also ride naked on the inside of a cop car.

“Kids These Days”

In Wyoming, police say that a large SUV led officers on a high speed chase reaching speeds of 100 mph. The chase started about 3 A.M., Tuesday central Wyoming, and ended 50 miles later.

Turns out the driver decided it would be a nice night to get all boozed up and head out for a midnight ride. The catch though was that the driver was an 11-year old boy.

After being chased the boy ditched the vehicle, jumped into a lake and began swimming. He eventually returned to shore where police collared him.

“Love Hurts”

A 52- year old woman told her significant other that she wasn’t in the mood; and she meant it. The 52-year old woman was booked Thursday morning with domestic battery after telling police that she cut her boyfriend for trying to have sex with her.

The Associated Press reported that “the woman’s boyfriend claimed she cut him with a knife when they got into an argument, and police saw a 4-inch gash on his left arm along with several small cuts and scratches.”

I am guessing the moral to this story is no means no.
