Machete Maniac

The Local10.com homepage featured this story in its local news section early Saturday morning. According to the article, 46-year-old Tampa woman Annette Jenkins was thrown behind bars when she chased after a Thanksgiving dinner guest with a machete. And I thought turkey only caused excessive napping or football watching.

Anyways, Jenkins now faces aggravated assault charges for her maniacal behavior. Thing is, quirky artcles of this nature usually attribute a quote or two to a police spokesperson or local authority. Yet, this article simply recounts the "alleged" event and offers no additonal information or explanation. Kind of odd. For this reason, I wouldn't have posted this vague, rather weak story on the homepage. Instead, I would have buried it in local ten's "Odd File." Then again, maybe that's where it will end up...
