A 68-year-old man from Holly Hill found himself in hot water after allegedly wielding a toilet seat as a weapon. Carl Booth's attempt at a porcelain-powered violence resulted in his arrest on a felony charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. No, seriously, a toilet seat. That's not your typical arsenal.
According to the scoop from the authorities, the cringe-worthy showdown unfolded when a lady wandered into their shared living quarters. Instead of offering a polite greeting or some snacks, Booth allegedly commenced a shouting match. He then grabbed the nearest toilet seat and gave the woman's noggin a couple of swats.
So, what sparked this restroom rumble, you ask? Well, the victim claims it was all about jealousy. Booth apparently had his heart set on a romantic relationship that never quite blossomed, leading to this rather, shall we say, unconventional display of affection.
Toilet Seat Assault:
Booth tried to spin a different yarn to the deputies however. He suggested that the lady had a date with gravity and ended up taking a tumble on the stairs, thus injuring her left side. Unfortunately for him, the evidence didn't quite align with his version of events. The injuries were mysteriously on the right side of the woman's head, making it tough to sell the stair-diving story.
When the deputies ventured into the battleground, they stumbled upon the alleged weapon of choice... The detached toilet seat, complete with a smidge of blood and a souvenir in the form of a piece of hair from the victim. It's safe to say the crime scene was not what they'd anticipated when they donned their badges that morning.
As they say, the proof is in the porcelain, and the authorities had enough to slap Booth with an aggravated battery charge. Adding a dash of spice to the mix, the records revealed Booth's past performances, featuring multiple battery convictions.
In an ironic twist, Booth managed to flush his way out of jail by forking over a $2,500 bail.
