WOMAN ACCUSED OF SETTING EX'S HOME ABLAZE OVER TEDDY BEAR
A teddy bear was the catalyst of a fight that involved a Florida woman setting her ex's house ablaze and stabbing an officer, officials said.
Brittany Bonin, 26, and the ex-boyfriend started feuding Saturday when she went to his home to retrieve the stuffed animal that she had given to his daughter, news station WESH reported.
She reportedly pushed her way into the home while her ex fled for safety at the house of a nearby off-duty deputy.
Before she left, Bonin allegedly set the house on fire and then followed the man to the neighbor's home where she attempted to attack him, according to news station WFTV.
Volusia County Capt. Cliff Williams, the off-duty deputy, attempted to protect the man from Bonin but was stabbed shielding him, police said.
Police said Williams was brought to Florida Hospital in New Smyrna Beach with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Bonin was booked at Volusia County Brach Jail on charges of assault, battery and arson.
She appeared before a judge Sunday morning and was denied bail.
