Florida woman arrested for domestic violence after scratching boyfriend in fight over a blanket

A Florida woman breaking up with her boyfriend scratched him all over his body during a bitter argument over who could use the bed cover, police said.

Emma Campbell, 20, allegedly attacked Alexander McCall with her fingernails early Tuesday after a disagreement over the air conditioning temperature.

She is accused of leaving several long, deep scratches on his chest, back and upper right thigh.
McCall had several deep scratches after the incident.

Cops arrived at the couple's DeLand home at 4:14 a.m. after neighbors reported a woman screaming outside for 15 minutes.

They discovered Campbell had been fighting over the blanket.

None over blankets though that I can recall. Oh, good on the arrest, scratches can be nasty.

I'm guessing that story is either bullshit,, or she is fucking crazy. Either way, good for the police for arresting her.

I've noticed heated arguments started over and about petty things when relationships & friendships were during rocky times but it was clear to me it was really about something else.
