Spat Over Dishes Leads To Sword Attack

Texas Cops Say A Woman Took A Swipe At Her Boyfriend With A Sword After They Argued About His Dirty Dishes

(AP)  Police say a 20-year-old woman faces an aggravated assault charge after she bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword during an argument about him not doing the dishes.

Briana Lin Pouncy was arrested Thursday afternoon at the couple's apartment, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on its Web site.

Joseph Boykins, 21, told police that he and Pouncy had become involved in an argument because Pouncy was upset that the dishes were not clean. She told Boykins to leave the apartment, which he refused to do, police Lt. Paul Henderson said.

Henderson said the woman then tried to physically remove Boykins. During the ensuing struggle, Henderson said, Pouncy bit Boykins' right shoulder and broke a picture frame across his face, causing visible cuts.

The woman then grabbed an approximately 2-foot sword and swung it at Boykins, missing him, police said.

Pouncy was released from a Mansfield jail after posting a $10,000 bond, jail officials said.

Henderson said Pouncy and Boykins had lived together for four months.

Somebody needs some ANGER MANAGEMENT.

I feel for this guy. Been there, done that. You wash the dishes like a good hubby. Then she screams at you because you didn''t clear off the dining table. Well, the dishwasher was full from the dishes in the sink, there wasn''t room to clear the table. But OK, next time you wash the dishes AND clear off the table.

Then she screams at you that you didn''t vacuum the carpet. So next time you do that, too. Then she screams at you that you didn''t fold the laundry (which YOU did). So next time you do that, too. Then she screams at you...

So finally you say "SCREW this. If she''s gonna scream no matter what I do, I''m not doing anything. What''s she gonna do - SCREAM AT ME?"

Then you notice, she isn''t contributing ONE DIME of her pay to support the family, that''s "her money." YOU have to pay all the bills, because that''s the MAN''S job. EVEN IF SHE''S MAKING MORE THAN YOU DO.

Then you say "If I have to pay all the bills, don''t expect me to do the housework."

Then she takes out a sword, or a knife from the kitchen, and she STABS YOU.

BEEN THERE - DONE THAT.

What is WITH women???

[smurfcrusher]

Somehow I expect it will be VERY difficult for this ninja woman to find her next boyfriend.

Injustice, no man would be free on 10,000 bail.

Posted by txgrouch2006

We have, in our society, an entire generation of people who know, in their hearts, that they are entitled to everything.

It is a totally, self-centered, spoiled brat, attitude which is fostered by television, movies, magazines, and a notion that everyone should receive the American Dream without actually having to earn it. Oh my, did I just describe Obama''s plan for taking care of everyone in America?

It isn''t just women who think life owes them, young men have the same sense of entitlement.

I don''t relate to that attitude. I grew up in a pioneer house, I raised my childen on my own on a grand total of $600 per year child support, I earned my University degree while working to support my family, and I cared for my ailing mother for almost 25 years. The point is, that not all women are as you described in your post.

I would have greatly appreciated having someone in my life who earned money, and who was a partner to help out with anything. I used to hate men, then I realized that not all men were like my ex. Don''t assume that all women are like your ex.

Geesh, is this your woman??? I''d say it''s time to kick her to the curb!!

I wouldn''t allow this from a man and certainly this is just as unacceptable from this looney, unbalanced woman. What is wrong when the judicial system allows this behavior to continue? I say she needs some serious adjustments from the inside of a prison.

[nagognog]

He''ll be ordered to buy her a new set of of monogrammed dishes (Hers & Hers) and fencing lessons at the YWCA. He''ll be kicked out of the apartment - yet have to pay her rent. Because they are not married, she''ll be allowed to date and still he''ll have to pay the rent. He''ll then be picked up for vagrancy and given 10 years in prison for failure to pay the rent.

On the bright-side: Her new boyfriend will be the fencing-instructor and will run her through 4 months later.

[cncrndctzn]

We don''t know what REALLY happened here. It''s very possible that this guy, after only 4 months living with her, had pushed her to her wit''s end. He could have been any combination of lazy, abusive, a total slob, and could have taken advantage of her. It''s a common situation...one lazy slob taking total advantage of another person, pushing that person to the edge. That doesn''t mean I condone her behavior...she could be a jealous, out-of-control freak herself. But I just wanted to point out that there are two sides to every story. People can be infuriating and push others into acts of frustrated rage.

You are absolutely RIGHT ON with your comments. This describes the new generation EXACTLY.

And I told only half about my wife. It''s even worse, but I''d run out of space if I told everything.

Sounds like you were raised in the "old ways," the same as I was. Those ways have died out.

The new generation is just a pack of wild animals and barbarians. We are in BIG trouble in this country.

Blah, blah, blah, waa waa waa. NOTHING justifies violence, especially violence with a weapon, unless he was physically attacking her first. There is NO indication that he did ANYTHING of the kind.

The fact that you''re willing to JUSTIFY and EXCUSE the woman''s violent behavior IS FURTHER PROOF OF HOW FAR OUR SOCIETY HAS GONE WRONG.

Now watch - her lawyer will claim it was "self defense," even though NO MARKS WERE FOUND ON HER at the time of her arrest.

[txgrouch2006]

He should have thrown a dish at her.
Posted by DeckardBR at 12:14 AM : Sep 16, 2008

Then the sword attack would be called "justifiable self-defense" and HE''D be the one in jail.

I''ve discovered that our legal system is HEAVILY biased in favor of the woman. Men had better tread lightly - and have a GOOD lawyer - if they hope for justice.

[luckygirl042]

Shoulda used paper plates if they didn''t want to do dishes. Send this one to Judge Judy!

[luckygirl042]

Hello, my name is Indigo Montoya. You didn''''''''t clean the dishes. Prepare to die.....

Yes, he DID have a two foot sword, didn''t he?

[formrusmcsgt]

I would say that they are both idiots and deserve each other.

She for being violent and he for not leaving her flat.

[carlylaine]

Men could learn so much. Instead of being priks and sittin'' around the house doing nothing they COULD HELP! It''s everybody''s work not just women''s as before in the old days. Men just help out if the woman is working as well. It''ll keep you from being attacked or worse...but you must remember that you do other things to pi$$ us off too. JUST STOP it.

formrusmcsgt HONEY! How do you know if the guy works? All I am saying is help...just help out. I don''t suffer from "queen syndrome"-silly man. I have lived with two men who didn''t work because of disabilities...one worked to help out the other stayed in bed all day. Please...and refused...because I was a woman I should do the house work too...it came to blows as well. He''s lucky I choose to divorce him rather than kill him.

[usmcvn1]

Lets ask Oprah.

My wife and I made a deal when we first got married. If only one works (has an income) then the other is responsible for the house, if both are working, then we share. Works for us.

Well those of us women who don''t just stay at home and expect our men to be the "bread winners" actually split the chores... I don''t do the dishes and household chores all on my own. That''s a ridiculous comment and you are obivously walked all over and controlled.

[tootall10142]

THIS SPACE WOULD BE BETTER SERVED WITH A POSITIVE BASED HUMAN INTEREST STORY .ALTHOUGH *** , RAPE MURDER AND BEATINGS SELL PAPERS AND CATCH THE EYES AND EARS OF THE BUYING PUBLIC.THEN YOU WONDER WHATS WRONG WITH THE OUTLOOK OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.IT DOES BOGGLE THE MIND.

What?, we can''t have a story that''s light hearted (somewhat) and be able to post light hearted comments on? We can''t be serious all the time.

Like they say, All work and no play, makes Johny a dull boy!

And besides, there''s plemty of room on this site to post most stories. And what''s nice with this story, nobody was seriously hurt, killed, maimed,,etc etc.
Of course the woman in this story probably wishes for a better outcome, but hey, she swung 1st! Apparently.

Lighten up dude!

The guy should have done the dishes. She should have the right to throw him out of the house, by the point of a sword if nessisary. Annnnd, she should not have gone to jail.

[jlagat]

Now the gun control nuts will have a reason to start lobbying for restrictions on sharp objects.

AGREED! Whats wrong with some guys that they cant just do what their told, and shut their yaps? She put up with this jerquewad for four months, and thats four months TOO LONG!

Joseph Boykins needs to GROW UP, learn how to do his chores, spend a little time in JAIL, apologise, and pay the Forth Worth Police the cost of their time to have to put up with this 21-year-old juvenile!

[jetlizhan]

holy cow! what a temper. wonder what she''d do if he left the toilet seat up?

[random_radar]

He must have been a democrat since he expected to be taken care of without lifting a finger. Touche!

[kashmirbaby]

He must have not been doing anything around the house - dishes must have been a deal breaker. We all have our limits - I think it''s kinda funny that she grabbed a sword of all things. *** was a sword doing in their house anyway? Is one of them a ninja?

[mellie1957]

My dear hubby of 29 years pi22ed me off so bad one night that I cut up all his socks after he passed out drunk. When he awoke next morning to go to work he got the message loud & clear. What a laugh we''ve had. Now I just threaten him with "I''ll cut your socks up!"

[questionnews]

Pouncy?? Her name is Pouncy??

Does anyone else get the irony??

[airboatboy1]

I would love to see a picture of Miss Pouncy.
