Dawn Elizabeth Rhash Attacks Roommate With Butter, Cops Say

There's a thin line between buttery and battery -- and Dawn Elizabeth Rhash crossed it, according to police.

Sheriff's deputies in Collier County, Fla, say the 49-year-old attacked her male roommate with butter on May 21.

The incident occurred at some point before 6:46 p.m., when authorities arrived on the scene of a reported domestic disturbance and encountered the victim outside the home he shares with Rhash, according to an police report obtained by AOL Weird News.

The victim told deputies that he and Rhash "were having an argument about what food was hers and what was his" when the suspect "threw butter at him striking him in the leg," the document notes.

Deputies observed that the victim "did have butter on his ankle."

When authorities confronted Rhash, the noticed a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person and facial area."

Rhash allegedly confessed she had been drinking vodka, but insisted that she did not hurl butter at her housemate.

She has been charged with misdemeanor battery.

This is embarrasing for the POLICE! They are complete a#$ho$es for charging someone for assault with butter. Our laws are here to serve us not the other way around. The cops get another number on their arrest summaries. That's it. Is justice done? Obviously we have a silly police state that no one can take seriously anymore. These cops should be ashamed. So should those idiots who called them. The police should have arrested both citizens for calling in a false alarm.

How much of a wimp are you that you call the police when someone throws butter at you? Should everyone call the police when a food fight breaks out?

"strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her person and facial area."

I'm shocked! I had her pegged as a tweaker.

Wow, when you scroll through the other mug shots (Dumb Crime: Masterminds Need Not Apply), you really realize there are a lot of crazy people in the world. How about the guy (maybe mugshot #8 or so) found naked in the woods covered in blood wearing a bra and panties? Yikes.

After killing and possibly sexually assaulting his neighbors's goat? I don't know which part of this story is more scary.

She was caught throwing Crisco a week later.
A cop responded "I can't believe it's not butter."

She is 49? Should have used that butter as a moisturizer.

I thought she was sixty--she looks like she's been tied to a post for 60 years and forced to endure the elements.

Paula Dean would be upset seeing a good stick of butter being wasted.
Some of the comments are funny.
