please, step away from the cookies

NAPLES, Fla. — Police say a brawl between roommates over Girl Scout cookies led to assault charges against one of them.

According to the Naples Daily News, the Collier County Sheriff's Office reports that 31-year-old Hersha Howard woke up her roommate early Sunday and accused her of eating her Thin Mints.

They argued and deputies say that it turned physical with Howard chasing her roommate with scissors and hitting her repeatedly with a board and then a sign.

Police say the roommate's husband tried to separate them. The roommate said she gave the cookies to Howard's children.

Howard is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was released Monday on $10,000 bail.

A telephone listing for Howard could not be immediately found.

Thank you, Lord, for finally answering my prayer that Goo would post again and assure us she was alive. And the Lord knows that I check daily (90+ days since the last one).

Of course, the Lord knows that I am not overly demanding in my prayers. Therefore, in answer, I read this over-the-top cookie story with all kinds of kinky living arrangements interspersed. Heck, one might as well read the Bible; it's equally mystifying. Thank you, Goo.
