FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Maybe DeAnn Miller-Boschert will finally be able to get some sleep – in jail.

Miller-Boschert, 45, stabbed her husband with a pen and hit him over the head with a 3-pound dumbbell to get him to stop snoring Thursday, police said.

She was charged with simple assault, a misdemeanor, after her husband called police from a convenience store.

Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza said the woman first poured water on her husband, but that did not wake him up.

“She then stabbed him with a pen in the arm twice,” he said. “After he went back to sleep after the pen thing, she woke him up again with a workout weight.”

Skuza said the man was not seriously hurt and did not seek medical attention.

“He did have some scratches on his shoulders and arms that he said were from previous attacks,” Skuza said.

Skuza said the man returned to his home after calling police.

“I assume he went back to sleep,” Skuza said.

Kangaroo has run of town in W.Va.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – That really was 3-foot kangaroo wandering around outside of Charleston the last several months.

The small male kangaroo comes out mostly at night or in the early morning, officials said. He makes appearances in backyards and on the county’s rural roads.

“People will call in and say, ‘I swear I’m not drunk or on drugs, but I just saw a kangaroo,”‘ state conservation officer Clyde Armstead said Thursday.

The first person to report seeing the kangaroo called 911 one week after Christmas, saying the animal was in their yard. “The dispatcher thought someone was celebrating New Year’s early,” Armstead said.

Some think it may belong to the owners of an exotic animal farm in nearby Evans.

“I spoke to someone who doesn’t want to claim it,” Armstead said. “So I don’t know if it has a name. But he does admit to having other kangaroos.”
