Florida Man Attacked With Garden Gnome During Dispute

A Florida man was attacked with a garden gnome during a recent domestic dispute.

The ordeal began when 47-year-old waitress Lisa Buckley got into an altercation with her unidentified neighbor. Authorities explained that Buckley allegedly threw all sorts of things around her residence during the argument.

According UPI, the fight didn’t end there. The situation got entirely out of hand when Buckley grabbed a garden gnome dressed in New Orleans Saints gear and cracked her neighbor over the head. Police reports state the man then began bleeding out of his left ear.

The waitress reportedly fled the scene of the crime after hitting her neighbor with the gnome. She was gone by the time authorities arrived at the residence.

Although the neighbor suffered minor injuries during his scuffle with Buckley, he declined medical attention.

As strange as it may sound, the man had more contact with his neighbor the following day.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that Buckley sent a text message to the man asking him to drop the charges against her. He received a handful of messages and phone calls from his neighbor throughout the day.

Apparently her neighbor wasn’t willing to forgive and forget. According to The Smoking Gun, Buckley was arrested on Tuesday and charged with domestic battery and harassing a victim. She was booked at the Pinellas County Jail and released on $5,000 bail.

This isn’t the first time a Florida woman has used an unusual item to attack someone during a domestic dispute. The Inquisitr reported last year about a woman who assaulted her ex-boyfriend with his own prosthetic leg.

The incident began when the man turned over some harassing text messages to police. The ex-girlfriend and two unidentified men showed up take the former couple’s son. A fight soon broke out, resulting in the man getting assaulted with the prosthetic leg.
