From Fox News.

Authorities say Julia Smith became distraught after her neighbor, who has power of attorney over the 51-year-old’s affairs, had her dog euthanized Monday.

Understandable, you give somebody power of attorney and then they kill your dog. That would piss a person off; I reckon.

Police found Smith with the World War II grenade in her hand and a butcher knife nearby.

Smith eventually told officers she would sell them the grenade for $100.

Police Chief Raymond O’Hare tells the Asbury Park Press that he luckily had the cash on him.

After turning over the grenade, Smith threatened to kill herself with the knife. She eventually surrendered and was taken to a hospital.

Smith is charged making terroristic threats, weapons offenses and creating a widespread risk.

I was going to kill myself and everybody around me but, instead….I decided I want 100 bucks.

I feel for the woman, I really do because, it’s obvious that she is ill. Got to be some reason that she gave her neighbor power of attorney in the first place. That being said, how in the hell does she have a World War II grenade for fuck’s sake! Oh yeah, and a butcher knife. Some people need to have the sharp objects kept away from them. Of those people, all of them need to have the World War II grenades kept away from them. There is a yob here but, I don’t know for sure who it is. It might be the dog killing, power of attorney holding neighbor, it might be the family, might be the state of New Jersey; who knows?

I firmly believe that you should always keep $100 bill in your pocket. Good work, Police Chief Raymond O’Hare.
