Here’s something new we don’t see everyday. An obsessed online gamer gagged and bound his “virtual boyfriend’s” dog. Now, she’s currently in police custody and is charged with animal cruelty and attempted kidnapping. Accordin to this report by CNET, Kimberly Jernigan–a 33-year-old woman from North Carolina–”was apparently distraught after her online relationship with a 52-year-old man from Claymont, Del., came to an end.”

Accroding to the report, Jernigan was said to have “broken into the unnamed victim’s apartment with a Taser, a pair of handcuffs, a BB gun, her dog, and a roll of duct tape. He wasn’t there, so she waited. When the virtual ex arrived home he saw what looked like a laser beam projecting on his chest. He immediately fled the apartment and contacted the Newcastle County Police.”

More after the break.

When police arrived they said they found Jernigan’s dog, Gogi, bound with duct tape in the bathtub of the victim’s bathroom. Jernigan’s reason for gagging her pooch–”he was making too much noise.” The dog was said to be uninjured, but the ASPCA is looking into possible charges of animal cruelty.

Tsk. Tsk. Poor pooch.

Keep your dogs away from deranged virtual lovers, ok?

Peace!
