She’s a Bit Stiff

A woman in West Boynton Beach, Fla., heard her 73-year-old neighbor scream, “Help! He’s going to kill me!” Deputies responding to her 911 call found the bloodied woman being chased by her own 40-year-old son. They say he hit his mother over the head with a small stool, and force-fed her the dumplings she had made for dinner. He was arrested for aggravated battery of victim over the age of 65, and domestic battery by strangulation. What upset Mikkel Dankner to such a degree? His mother, deputies found, had refused to dress his mannequin for him. (RC/WPTV West Palm Beach) ...Could’ve been worse: he could have wanted her to undress his mannequin for him.
