AN Illinois woman who was arrested after allegedly attacking a police officer with a sex toy said today she was acting in self-defence.
Carolee Bildsten, 57, was arrested in December for failing to appear at a hearing regarding the November incident, Trib Local said. She had allegedly charged toward an officer with a “clear, rigid feminine pleasure device” when the officer went to Ms Bildsten’s apartment after she was accused of skipping out on a restaurant tab.
Employees at Joe’s Crab Shack in Gurnee, located in the Chicago metropolitan area, said Ms Bildsten left the restaurant without paying for a second time. But Ms Bildsten said in an interview today that she had mistakenly left her credit card at home because she “wanted to travel light” that night.She said she told the bartender she would retrieve the money at her home and return to pay her bill. Admittedly intoxicated and suffering from a broken foot, Ms Bildsten began walking to her apartment, but tripped and fell on her way home; Trib Local reported.The officer involved in the incident first encountered Ms Bildsten lying in the grass. Ms Bildsten said he was “kind enough to take me home,” so she could retrieve her wallet.
According to a police report, once home, Ms Bildsten reached into a dresser drawer for what the officer believed was money to pay the bill, but instead pulled out the sex toy and charged toward the officer. The officer deflected the attack with his hand and was not injured. But Ms Bildsten told Trib Local toay that she became “a little bit afraid” when the officer came to her apartment. She said she had recently read a news article about an officer who was convicted of sexual assault.“I got scared. And the only thing in my sock drawer besides my socks and my cash was a dildo,” she said.Ms Bildsten denied she attacked the officer, saying she only “instinctively raised it up in a defensive move.”
Ms Bildsten, who said she sent a money order the next day to Joe’s Crab Shack to cover her tab, intends to plead not guilty to aggravated assault at a hearing on Thursday at the Lake County courthouse in Waukegan .

Wow-Are You Ready For Royal Wedding condoms
'Like a Royal Wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion', so reads the back of this deluxe box of regal condoms.
Crown Jewels, who've also kindly sent us some 'review items', believe that the amorous air brought about by the joyous union of Wills and Kate this spring has left a gap in the market for royal-themed birth control. Describing themselves as 'the world's leading supplier of heritage prophylactics' the company have already shifted more than 1,000 units on their website since launching yesterday.Lavishly anointed with lube and ribbed for enhanced lovemaking, the royal sheaths allow the wearer to live like a king for a day (a few minutes).Don't get too excited though, the condoms don't actually work.
The Crown Jewels condoms carry a disclaimer advising would-be lovers they are designed as a souvenir and are not suitable for... well... doing what they're supposed to.
'Sadly, the disclaimer was required for legal reasons,' company spokesperson Hugh Pomfret told Metro.co.uk.'But since our prophylactics are designed as an heirloom product, we would encourage people to keep hold of them as a memento of a special national occasion.'They are of course welcome to enjoy the supple latex and gliding lubrication of our products, but we are required to advise that they are not suitable to prevent STDs or pregnancy.
Fate-Unluckiest man in the world
The 47-year-old was taken to Tampa General Hospital , and said he had woken up surrounded by paramedics with a hole burned in his sock.
The last thing he remembers is leaning over a metal sink, with a severe storm raging outside, speaking on the phone. Agan has hit headlines in the past because of his extraordinary misfortune, which included an incident four years ago when he was robbed at gunpoint while driving his taxi and got locked in the boot.He also suffered injuries after being stabbed in the chest with a butcher's knife in 2008, and, more recently in 2009, he claimed he was bitten by two snakes at the same time.Although experts have questioned whether all his injuries are genuine - especially the snake incident and now the lightning strike - he stands by his claims.Some have suggested he is an attention seeker, or even self-harming (in the most bizarre ways possible) in order to receive pain medication. But this time he also has the word of his daughter, Misty, to back him up as she was at home when he was apparently befallen by the freak bolt from the sky.
'I don't care what people say. Any day of the week, I'll go take a [lie detector] test,' Mr Agan told the St Petersburg Times.
Costly-Urination plus a colleague's door equals trouble.
That's the hard lesson to take away from the case of a California State University-Northridge math professor, who allegedly urinated on a colleague's door on campus.
Tihomir Petrov, 43, was charged with two misdemeanor counts of urinating in a public place. His arraignment was scheduled for Thursday at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in San Fernando , according to the AP.School officials' yellow flags went up when they saw what they suspected was urine outside another math professor's door. Petrov was rumored to be in dispute with his colleague, according to school officials.
They allegedly struck gold by capturing an incident on camera in early December.
Too big-Prisoner ‘too big for cell’
His lawyer, Bas Martens, told a court in The Hague that at 2.07m (6ft 9in) tall and 230kg (36 stone) his client is too big and too fat to fit in the cell he was assigned. But Martens claims: ‘He is not obese. He is a giant. He even walks like a giant, like out of the comic books.’ MacD, who is serving a two-year sentence for fraud, has a long list of complaints. His bed is apparently too small, forcing him to sleep on his side ‘with one eye open in case he falls out of bed’. He also claims he has to crouch under the shower, keep toilet trips to a minimum as the seat is too low and small, and has nowhere to sit in the prison canteen. Martens argue that his client’s living conditions violate the European Convention on Human Rights, and wants MacD to be allowed to serve the rest of his sentence at home under house arrest. He claims that the oversized fraudster isn’t trying to get out of serving his sentence, but that he ‘just wants to serve a comparable sentence without pain.’ A ruling on the case is expected next month.
