Sheriff's officials said a deputy plans to be back on duty Wednesday after a woman she was trying to arrest broke her nose with her purse. Sheriff's spokeswoman Trish Carter said the purse the 48-year-old woman swung Tuesday evening contained a large bottle of perfume and weighed more than three pounds.
— From Ariz. woman allegedly woman whacks deputy with purse containing perfume bottle, breaks nose at the Star Tribune.
That’s not the sort of weapon I had in mind when I purchased my own scents.
But you never know when it will come in handy…
I’ve smelled a couple perfumes where the uber-sillage has made my nose FEEL broken….
Yep!
Did you read that she was charged for assault with a deadly weapon?? Must have been a big bottle of Poison….
Groooaannn!!!! I’ve heard scents packing a punch, but…
BA DUM BUM Ching!
🙂
It wasn’t Angel was it? It always breaks my nose 😛
LOL —I feel bad for the deputy with the broken nose—but this is toooooo funny! I really want to know what the perfume was….talk about snarky comment fodder for just about EVER!
And to think –all these years I’ve only had a 10ml atomizer in my bag…..I guess “purse size” is different to some people!
It must have been literally ‘purse size’ LOL
Oh! the mental image is killing me! where’s an amatuer video camera aficionado when you need one!
HA!
This is a sign! For manufacturers to offer smaller size bottles. This would never have happened with a 20 ml!!
LOL — true!
Maybe this is something that could be covered in self defense class: “Look them right in the eye and state in a strident tone–I have perfume and I’m not afraid to use it!”
perhaps it was Musc Kublai Khan…….
HA…
I’ve got a sizeable bottle of Donna Karan’s Gold in my handbag today. Perhaps I should apply for a concealed weapons permit. lol
Aim to stun, not to break….
I love DK Gold…that’s a heavy bottle too.
Breaking a deputy’s nose is, of course, not that funny… but thanks for the comic relief this morning. Only people like US are actually dying to know what the perfume was! It always occurs to me how heavy and hefty the Malle bottles are.
Nope, not funny for her…but could not resist.
For heavy and hefty, I like Kenzo Power. Not only that, but it shouldn’t shatter, either.
I guess that’s why the IFRA is claming that so many perfumes are dangerous…
Exactly, LOL…
yeah, that oakmoss was extremely ‘sensitizing’ to the deputy’s nose!
It must have been a bottle of Juicy Couture! lol 🙂
P.S. I don’t own it, but that bottle is pretty heavy and solid. I have DK Gold too, but I’d never do that for fear it would break.
Exactly why I would not use my perfume to break someone’s nose 🙂
This is very silly! I do have a 3.4 ml botte of Ferre that is a serious glass brick – I often think I should keep it next to the baseball bat! And I did see a distressingly large bottle of 4711 at TJ Maxx yesterday…..
We are esp. silly today 🙂
i’d have guessed it was that 400ml bottle of prada’s infusion d’iris… they maybe forgot to pack the 30ml purse-size bottle and funnel in her package??
Yeah, you could kill someone with that one!
Clearly an assault with a deadly weapon! Watch out!
Yep 🙂
Oh no! The poor deputy will have to be debriefed to alleviate her new phobia of perfume. I wish I knew her address, I’d send her a gift of a big old’ bottle of perfume… the fuma-bomber strikes again!
ashamed of myself,
Becca
LOL…you should be ashamed of yourself!
My guess would be one of the L’Artisan Parfumeur bottles – the bottles AND caps for that line are pretty heavy.
Another guess might be Eternity, but that one is more like a spike through the head for me…
Yes, that cap could definitely injure someone!
