Woman Arrested For Stabbing Lizard!

A woman who allegedly stabbed a  bearded dragon lizard during an argument with the pet's owner has been arrested.

After receiving a report of a domestic dispute, deputies responded  to the 1000 block of Crestview Drive around 3:40 a.m. They found a man, who  told deputies that 37-year-old Shawna Kim Apour stabbed his pet lizard during  a fight, Lt. Ray Lunny said.

The two had a prior relationship, but they were not married, he  said. The victim, who was not injured, told deputies Apour had left the home  on foot.

Deputies were able to find Apour a short distance from the house,  but when they approached her, she brandished a knife, Lunny said. She refused  to put down the weapon and threatened deputies, who used a stun gun to disarm  her, he said.

Apour was booked into San Mateo County Jail on suspicion of  domestic violence, cruelty to animals, vandalism and brandishing a weapon. 

The 14-year-old bearded dragon was taken to a veterinarian, where  it received stitches and is expected to survive, Lunny said.
