INDEPENDENCE, Missouri — A man accused of shoving a cell phone down a woman's throat was convicted Saturday of second-degree domestic assault.

Prosecutors said Marlon Brando Gill, 25, had a history of abusing his former girlfriend, Melinda Abell, before he forced the cell phone into her mouth in December 2005 while they were arguing.

Abell was rushed to a hospital, where she underwent emergency surgery to remove the phone. Doctors said she nearly died of a blocked airway.

The defense said Abell was drunk and tried to swallow the phone to prevent Gill from finding out whom she had been calling.

Maybe she had a big mouth? :D

But, seriously, it isn't a laughing matter. I hope justice is served.

Does the name Linda Lovelace ring a bell? I'll bet she could of taken care of that phone no problem.

Maybe that's why she didn't want her boyfriend to see who she had been talking too.

I know that there have been plenty of times I have fantasized about doing that to some loud mouth sharing their inane conversation with everyone around them.:coffee:
