A bunch of you reached out asking for info on this one.  I assume it’s because ‘Mayhem’ is a pretty awesome-sounding charge.

Here’s what it means according to Idaho law:

18-5001. MAYHEM DEFINED. Every person who unlawfully and maliciously deprives a human being of a member of his body, or disables, disfigures or renders it useless, or cuts out or disables the tongue, puts out an eye, slits the nose, ear or lip, is guilty of mayhem

I know what you’re thinking… She cut off a ding dong, Lorena Bobbitt-style. (look it up, kids)

Nope.

According to court records, Post allegedly “…Maliciously disfiguring a woman by biting her ear.”

The bite allegedly split the ear in half and mutilated it until cartilage was visible.

So yeah… learn something new every day.

Cole is accused of robbing the Stinker Station on South Vista Avenue Saturday evening.

According to court records, Cole walked into the convenience store just before 5:00p, asked the clerk if they “wanted to die today”, and demanded money from the register.  He allegedly fled the scene with about $130.00 in cash.

He didn’t make it far.

Police caught up to him a half hour later, parked at an airport motel just down the road.  Post Miranda, Cole admitted to the robbery and told police he’d already used the money to purchase meth… which they found on his person during the search.

This is the second convenience store robbery on Vista in the past week.
