| 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 . . . |
