1287671 2012-07-10 22:48:00 Ostrich egg hurled at wife over pig . ( . stuff . co . nz/national/crime/7256519/Ostrich-egg-hurled-at-wife-over-pig" target="_blank">www . stuff . co . nz)



A man threw an ostrich egg at his wife because her pet pig damaged his tools .
Phillip Marau Glanville Russell, 47, lost his temper when he discovered the pig had caused $2500 of damage to his saw .
Appearing in Hastings District Court yesterday, Russell pleaded guilty to assault using an ostrich egg as a weapon, assault, and breaching a protection order .
He picked an argument with his wife of 20 years when she came home to their rural Waipawa property with their 9-year-old son last week .
He swore at her before spitting at her four or five times .
Russell then grabbed a large ostrich egg from the kitchen table and threw it at her with force . The heavy egg hit her in the chest, causing bruising .
The woman took her son and fled to a ute in the driveway . Russell ran after the pair and banged on the window before they drove off .
Police arrested Russell the next morning when they found him near his home .

His lawyer, Antony Willis, said Russell had asked his wife repeatedly to keep the pig under control because it had damaged their house, their neighbour's house and council property . But his wife insisted it should be given "free range" .

Mr Willis said the pig's latest antics set Russell off . Russell admitted he acted inappropriately by spitting at his wife but said he threw the egg expecting she would catch it .
The offending occurred while Russell was subject to a sentence of supervision .
Judge Richard Watson said he was concerned about Russell's previous domestic violence . He remanded him in custody and ordered a pre-sentence report before sentencing on August 22 .
Charged with assult for using an EGG as a weapon? what next . . .

Indeed. He should have made free-range chops and bacon etc.

Take that, psychopig.
