North Charleston police arrested [Helen Williams] early Christmas morning after she reportedly stabbed a man with a ceramic squirrel in an argument over beer.

According to the report, he walked to a store earlier in the night to buy beer, but the store was closed. Williams grew angry that the man returned without the beer, the report said.

She grabbed a ceramic squirrel and hit the man over the head out of anger, police said. Williams then stabbed him in the shoulder and chest with the item, the report said.

Well, if you’re going to stab someone with a ceramic squirrel, doing it over them not bringing back beer isn’t the worst reason I have ever heard…
