This will be the archive for one of the wackiest crimes of all - those that involve the crock pot. What is it about the slow cooker that brings out the crazy behavior in people? Stabbings over chili, the crock pot as an unwelcome gift, theft of the crock pot while there is food cooking inside!
As the weather cools down in these parts, I expect the crock pot to be used more, and with more use there will be more crime. There have been some fascinating crimes already committed in which the crock pot, if it could speak, could have been called in to testify as a witness. I may bring them back as Classic Crock Pot Crimes, but I'm hoping for some new misdemeanors happening while a slow cooking autumn or winter stew is a part of the action.
This woman in Jamestown, New York choked and stabbed a man after he turned the crock pot off on Christmas morning, 2013.
Do not do this. Ever.
More crock pot crime as it hits the blotter.
