One of the zaniest police blotter items of the summer comes to us courtesy the NY Post, which reports on a roommate fracas fueled by "festering feline feces." Oleksandr Ilyin, 35, reportedly returned home to his Bath Beach apartment Wednesday evening to find a garbage bag full of kitty litter. Police say that upon seeing the scat he snapped, and dumped the dirty litter all over his two roommates' bedrooms. This is where your average disgruntled roommate would crack open a Tecate and sit down for a night of Metal Gear Solid I, but not our Mr. Ilyin.
Police say Ilyin then beat his 22-year-old roommate with a dustpan, and whipped a shoe at his 28-year-old roommate's precious computer game, which fell to the floor and broke. When cops arrived at the scene, they found a crack pipe while searching him and arrested him. In his defense, being a 35-year-old dude sharing a home with two sloppy 20-something roommates is enough to drive anybody into a crack-fueled frenzy. To be honest, we salute Mr. Ilyin's restraint! (At press time, photos and video of the KITTEH had not been released to the media.)
