The Shepherd Express and The Onion are iconic Wisconsin publications well known for their alternative views and humor.
However, when one man's wife found issues of those two papers in his trunk, it incited an incident that could very well be mistaken for a headline in The Onion.
A 56-year-old Menomonee Falls woman is facing charges after she allegedly attacked her husband for having copies of the Shepherd Express and The Onion in the trunk of his car.
Lynne M. Rasbornik was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Monday with one count of disorderly conduct domestic abuse. If convicted, she faces up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint:
On May 19, the victims car was parked in their driveway in the N5100 block of Dolphin Drive and Rasbornik was going through the trunk when she found copies of the newspapers. She came into the house and confronted her husband about the papers then attacking him.
The man said his wife considers the publications pornography and the issue has been around in their marriage before.
The victim was able to get Rasbornik to the ground, then he wanted to leave, so he let her go and went to get his sons guitar that he was going to borrow. Rasbornik then grabbed a vase and tried to throw it at her husband, but he was able to grab her arms and stop her.
Rasbornik began to flail her arms and scream before running out of the house to the victims car and take his cell phone, a notebook with his drivers license and credit card inside, a Starbucks gift card and his handicapped placard.
While talking with a police officer, Rasbornik said her husband had attacked her, but she kept scratching and poking herself to make injuries more apparent. The officer told her to stop, but once taken in for booking she continued to scratch and twist her arms to make it appear that she was injured.
She will make her initial appearance in court Aug. 7.
we just hear about more things with the internet not filtering our news for us as much as other mediums...
“Trapped in refrigerator, man eats own foot.”
I can just picture her all in leathers and studs.
Well, I think this woman just guaranteed that it will!
There is more than meets the eye here.
You mean perhaps that the wife is even crazier than she appears to be? If she considers The Onion pornography, she has a really low threshold on smut. LOL!
And she will hurt you.
Oh, she’s crazy alright. Bet the perv acted out with his ‘pornography issues’ and drove her crazy, too.
So having a copy of The Onion automatically makes him a perv? He has pornography issues just because of this and therefore he drove his wife crazy and deserved a beat down? I guess hes lucky she didnt catch him with a copy of National Lampoon or MAD magazine, Oh the horrors. LOL!
The man said his wife considers the publications pornography and the issue has been around in their marriage before.
While one could read this as the husband was really into actual porn, but one could also read this as the wife considered nearly anything and everything porn and is the one with the issues. I hope he isnt a fan of Pawn Stars or Hard Core Pawn, as goodness knows how his wife might misconstrue that if she thinks The Onion is pornographic.
He’s the one quoted as having porn issues. I said she was crazy.
No. He was not quoted as saying that. He stated that his wife considers the publications (The Onion) pornography and the issue has been around in their marriage before. It is not at all clear to me that the husband was admitting to having actual porn issues or even into porn, but that perhaps the wife was the one who had issues in thinking that nearly anything and everything was porn and that created the issues in their marriage.
