Fort Worth woman cuts boyfriend with fork when he doesn’t answer door quickly enough

12

Headline says it, really.

Tasha Jones, 26, says she was banging on the door of the apartment she shares with her boyfriend in the 8700 block of Normandale Street in Fort Worth for half an hour. The boyfriend, William Lee King, 20, said he was sleeping in the apartment when he heard the banging, awoke, and opened the door. Jones proceeded to yell at King for taking so long and then slashed him on the hand and back with what he thought was a knife, but was later discovered to likely have been a fork.

Jones was arrested on Sunday and is being held in jail on an aggravated assault charge.

"slashed with a fork" sounds a little trumped up to me. Like the "sniper" in Cali right now who is shooting out car windows with a BB gun. I guess poked with a fork, and "kid with a bb gun" don't have enough editorial bling to get attention...which means maybe they shouldn't be considered news?

I think it's just being descriptive. There's a big difference between a "poke" and a slash. You can very much slash someone with a piece of hard metal.

Could create a whole new genre of horror/slasher movies. :)

My all time favorite is still the chick who beat her ex-husband with a meat tenderizer.

Young women are so creative these days!

Reminds me of a family-owned asian restaurant that was (maybe still is?) on the square in McKinney. Ate there during high school and the family was feuding above something. Disagreement spilled out from the kitchen and the hostess was screaming back while waving a fork around.

That's how I imagined people got fork-stabbed ever since. THANKS FOR RUINING MY MEMORY, BITCH.

Wonder if the wine bottle threated with after the fact was today's event pic?

Piss off, no time to proofread from work!

And I did mean 'feuding above something'. They were huddled over a plate. Think someone botched an entree, probably one of many...explaining the screaming.
