Boyfriend attacked with stripper pole and hot cooking oil.

While a stripper pole and oil might sound like the makings of a fun night, last Sunday evening did not go as planned for one Texas couple.

Sarah Howell of Killeen, Tex., has been charged with assault with bodily injury after allegedly attacking her boyfriend with a stripper pole, slapping him and pouring hot cooking oil on him. Police visited her home after receiving a call about a violent domestic disturbance, KDH News reports.

The arrest affidavit states that when police arrived at the house they found a badly scratched-up man covered in sweat and discovered Howell crying in her bedroom. Howell proceeded to tell them that her boyfriend had assaulted her.

But Howell's boyfriend's cellphone said otherwise, according to the Washington Examiner. The man had taken a video that allegedly captured Howell slapping him and pouring cooking oil on him in a rage. He says the video stops at this point because he needed to run away as his girlfriend chased him with a pink steel stripper pole.

Howell was also arrested in 2010 for assaulting her boyfriend with a gardening tool, and she has been arrested several other times since then, the Killeen Police Department told The Huffington Post. It is unclear whether the boyfriend involved in the 2010 case is the same man Howell is currently dating.

Howell was arraigned Wednesday on $5,000 bail.

Teen Gil Charged with Sydney Stabbing Murder

Teen girl 'happy' with murder charge

A TEENAGE girl who allegedly verbally abused and threatened apprentice chef Patrick Crowe just before he was stabbed to death appeared "strangely happy" today after being charged in relation to his murder.

The 15-year-old, who can't be named, yesterday became the fifth person arrested in relation to the stabbing murder of Mr Crowe, who died in hospital after he was attacked on a Parramatta street early last month.
The 22-year-old apprentice chef from Windsor was attacked near the Argyle St bus interchange following a night out with friends after his group exchanged verbal taunts with three girls.
Police allege the girls called a group of males to the area and they then attacked Mr Crowe and his friends.
The teenage girl, from Greystanes in Sydney's west, who was allegedly one of the female gang, was charged with being a principle in the second degree to the murder, affray and concealing the crime.
She appeared in Parramatta Children's Court this morning on a video link and smiled to the courtroom as she heard she would be staying behind bars for now.
Magistrate Anthony Spence noted the seriousness of the charges after the girl's lawyer said his client wasn't applying for bail and asked for her to return to the court on Thursday.
"You need to remain in custody for now until next Thursday, at least," he told the girl.
"Ok, thank you," the 15-year-old replied.
"She seems strangely happy about the whole process," Mr Spence said after the girl had gone off the screen.
Her mother and sister arrived at the court just after the girl's brief appearance, but they left without speaking to media.
Police earlier said several items had been seized from the girl's home and the property would be subject to forensic examination.
Christopher Brilliantes, 21, from Wentworthville, has been charged with stabbing Mr Crowe to death. He remains in custody and is next due to appear in Parramatta Local Court on September 13.
