Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas? Twenty-six year-old Heath Blom didnāt. He was given a Wii, got mad, and a fight broke out leading to a double arrest. Oh, the holidays.
Blom and his 24 year-old girlfriend, Randi Young, were both arrested for misdemeanor ādomestic-relatedā assault charges. An altercation broke out over Christmas presents. Police arrived at the Blom residence on Christmas Day to discover the couple bruised and battered.
āHeath Blom wanted a remote-controlled airplane for Christmas, and not the Wii,ā said Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn. Blomās grandmother gave him a Nintendo Wii, which he scoffed at, causing his girlfriend to call him names āfor not liking the Wii.ā
According to Young, āHe [Heath Blom] said he hated it. It hurt her [his grandmotherās] feelings⦠When he didnāt get the plane, he got really upset. He acted like a 10-year-old kid.ā
A fight ensued with Blom supposedly dragging Young down two flights of stairs ā by her hair. Blom claims Young punched him in the eye three times.
If only they went online and settled this like adults with a good old fashioned flame war.
