"Cops: Spurned Woman Pulled Knife On Man"

A 56-year-old Florida woman is facing an assault rap after allegedly threatening a 25-year-old man with a knife after he “rejected her sexual advances,” police report.

Elizabeth Highley (seen at right) is scheduled to be arraigned July 11 on the felony charge, for which she is free on $3500 bail.

According to an arrest affidavit, Highley was entertaining victim Crue Finley in her Jensen Beach home when trouble began around midnight on June 16. Finley told St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he and Highley “are not a couple.”

Finley, investigators reported, said that Highley “wanted to have sex,“ but he “rejected her sexual advances causing her to become angry and violent.” Highley allegedly grabbed a knife and sliced Finley’s left thumb as he fled her Windmill Village home.

Cops subsequently encountered Highley as she ran after Finley, who is pictured at left. Highley, carrying a large knife and a broken wooden cane, complied with Officer Paul Hutchinson’s order to drop the weapons and lie down on the ground.

Highley, the cop noted, was “angry, crying and appeared to be intoxicated” when taken into custody. She was released later in the day after posting bail on the aggravated assault count. (1 page)

Why are you identifying the victim in this story? You wouldn't identify a female victim if an alleged sexual assault.

If she just offered an apple, I think I would have refused it too.

Photo shoots on a budget are really hampered by the cost of effective wind machines for proper hair blowing, with the quality ones running hundreds of dollars. Out in nature, one also needs to include cost of a generator and usually another assistant just to wrangle all that stuff.

And sometimes, even with all that, the effect is marginal to negative, as we see here.

Florida. Sometimes the entire state seems to be The Villages.

You had me with "Florida."

Highley's patented finale dance routine has suffered over the years, especially since she lost her knee cymbals and squeeze box in the tragic freebasing fire of 2002, since then having to make do with maracas and kazoo.

No matter how you slice it, that's one bad news broad.

Good thing no other member of the opposite sex was present.

Harold and Maude 2 suffered at the box office.

The lack of chemistry between Elizabeth Highley and Crue Finley was heightened by the odd soundtrack choices.

Rather than Cat Stevens' soft folk stylings from the original 1971 film, Yusuf Islam's jihadi anthems painted a bleak backdrop for this May-December romcom.

Amanda Marcotte's Hobby Lobby protest is not starting off very well.

Highley and Finley can both tie their shoes. Beyond that it's a crapshoot.

Trooper York said...

When are women going to realize that no means no.

AllenS said...

Obviously, the woman doesn't understand that threatening a man with a large knife isn't the best way for him to perform.

Next time, offer to buy dinner and beer.

It's a toss up as to which of those two is uglier.

I think Ms. Highley is kind of cute, you know, in crack-whore-next-door kind of way.

Giver her an eye patch and she'd be Dread Pirate Highley.


AARRRRRRrrrrrrrrr.

Anyone who would fuck her is just to lazy to jerk off.

Chip S., is that Cybill Shepherd?

The Dude said...

More like Cybill War!

KCFleming said...

It is Cybill Shepherd!

Time is a cruel mistress.

Here's Elizabeth Highley in better days, enjoying a posh Christmas party in Newport, Rhode Island.

Yes, esp. to women.

On Third Rock from the Sun Jane Curtain asked John Lithgow why men look so much better as they age, and he replied, for the same reason men don't look attractive with breasts.

Were Dueling banjos strumming in the air?

I had no idea there were so many nice teeth in Newport.

The Dude said...

Amp - there are those who would argue that Florida is not part of the south.

The Newport connection implies this broad is a Y*nkee, so they were probably listening to NPR.

ampersand said...

Sorry Sixty, I was just responding to the fotos, make that dueling Banjo/ Harpsichord.
