So what does it take to get sentenced to two years probation, a psychological evaluation and community service?
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.
Woman calls police to report theft:
Next let’s travel to Brant Township, Michigan where we learn that they are limits to being a crime victim.
A 54-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday after reporting two men had broken into her home in Brant Township.
The Associated Press reported that “Detective Sgt. Randy F. Pfau said the woman told deputies the men fled after one of them demanded her marijuana plants. He said the woman then was booked on charges of manufacturing and delivering marijuana.”
However she was not charged for being stupid. Until Next time -BC
