A woman was arrested and charged with assault related charges after she slashed her boyfriend while playing a prank on him, according to police reports in Oklahoma.
An April fools’ day joke has gone horribly wrong as it ended with the woman locked in jail and her boyfriend recovering from a stab wound.
Police officers in Wagoner County, Oklahoma said that 18-year-old, Tori Wheeler told her boyfriend, Derek Bauer, she was pregnant as the April fools’ day joke.
Without seeing the humor in her comment, Bauer became angry. Wheeler allegedly brandished a knife and threatened him. Police officers said that Wheeler said this was just another April fools’ day joke.
Bauer responded by threatening to call the police, and that's when Wheeler apparently stopped joking. Investigators said she admitted that tensions rose, and cut his throat through and bit him twice.
“People need to stop making over the top April fools’ day jokes as this case showed,” David Montgomery, 54, of Daytona Beach, Florida told YourJewishNews.com after reading about the case.
Wheeler was charged with assault, while her boyfriend needed seven stitches in a hospital.
This is not the first over the top April fools’ day joke that ended up with an arrest.
As we reported this week, people try to come up with different April fools’ day pranks, but for one woman, her prank landed her in jail.
Susan Alexandria Tinker, 21, who works at the Waffle house was jailed after she allegedly called police to report a burglary, but police later determined that it was nothing more than an April fools’ day prank.
According to Hampton police, officers were dispatched to the Hampton Inn, Waffle House, in Hampton, Virginia around 6:00 am after police operators received a report that the restaurant had just been robbed.
When officers arrived at the scene, they used a K9 unit to search for the alleged thief. After reviewing surveillance camera footage, investigators determined that there had not been a robbery.
During an interview with police on the scene, Tinker admitted that there had not been a robbery and that she called 911 as a joke for April fools’ day. Apparently, police officers did not find it funny at all. She was taken into custody.
“Some April fools’ day pranks are cool. However, some people make pranks that are way over the line such as involving law enforcement,” Guy Weberman, 31, of Atlantic City, New Jersey told YourJewishNews.com.
Tinker was booked into jail and charged with falsely summoning police. If convicted, she could face up to 12 months in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500.
