Woman wielding pooper scooper subdued
Seriously? This is the kind of crap that makes it on the “oddly enough” news… but this is in our local newspaper!!!
A criminal complaint was filed this afternoon against a Milwaukee woman accused of entering a Waukesha home armed with a metal pooper scooper and scissors.
Leisa K. Reed, 47, was charged with two felonies, armed burglary and second degree recklessly endangering safety and four misdemeanors, battery, intentionally mistreat an animal, resisting an officer and bail jumping.
A Waukesha couple woke up about 4:40 a.m. Sunday when their small dog was barking in the kitchen. The female homeowner found the stranger in her kitchen, swinging the pooper scooper, threatening to kill them and kicking the dog, Capt. Mike Babe said.
The female homeowner screamed and her husband then came into the kitchen.
Reed is accused of striking the man in the head with the pooper scooper. He knocked it out of her hand and then noticed she had scissors.
The man struggled with the woman while his wife called police.
It took five police officers to subdue the 5-foot, 105-pound woman who was screaming threats that she was going to kill someone, Babe said.
Officers also repeatedly used a Taser on the woman, but it didn’t stop her. Officers finally had to put their weight on the woman to take her into custody.
The couple said they did not know the Milwaukee woman, police said.
Bail was set at $4,999.
She looks like a real winner too:
Wow… Thats an awesome halloween costume!!! She’s got my vote…

Not that I really want to admit it, but I knew these people back in
the day when they only spent $20 on crack. It is just a shame when
good people become crackheads,and I am not talking about the
homeowners. Matt and Leisa used to have great jobs and live in a
beautiful home, and now look at them. Attacking innccent homeowners
with a pooper scooper, hope it was clean. I will be laughing at this
one for a long time. Here is a link to a more complee story.

That’s a weird looking pooper scooper. It’s hard to see most of the scooper, though.

That proves it. She’s a ninja. She uses her environment to the best of her ability. Why else use a scooper as a weapon? It was there! And it’s a well-known fact that ninjas are not phased by Tasers. I rest my case.
