CHICAGO (Reuters) – A lactating Ohio woman was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after she sprayed sheriff’s deputies with breast milk as they tried to remove her from a vehicle, police said on Monday. Stephanie Robinette, 30, was arrested and charged with domestic violence and assault linked to a domestic dispute, as well as resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office said on Monday. It said Robinette’s husband told authorities the pair had been attending a wedding when his wife got drunk and started a dispute. He said that she hit him multiple times before locking herself in her car outside a banquet facility on Saturday. Sheriff Walter L. Davis III said that when police approached the car to speak to her, she yelled profanities and refused to get out. “When deputies attempted to remove Robinette from the vehicle she advised the deputies that she was a breastfeeding mother and proceeded to remove her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk,” Davis said. Robinette was later removed from the car and arrested after more deputies arrived on the scene. “This is a prime example of how alcohol can make individuals do things they would not normally do,” Davis said.

LONDON – One of Margaret Thatcher’s famous handbags fetched 25,000 pounds ($39,953) at a London charity auction Monday. The boxy black leather Asprey bag, owned by the former British prime minister for more than 30 years, was sold to a private buyer. The bag was on Thatcher’s arm during Cold War negotiations with U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev. “The handbag makes you automatically think of Margaret Thatcher,” said former politician and author Jeffrey Archer, who hosted the auction. “Someone has captured this and will have, frankly, a historic document for the rest of their lives.” Thatcher, one of the most formidable and well-known British Conservative leaders, was famously responsible as the origins of the word “handbagging,” which referred to her uncompromising style. Her daughter Carol, who attended Monday’s event, said her mother was “longing to know” how much the bag raised. Christie’s said Thatcher will donate the proceeds to a British charity for people with a genetic skin condition. “I hope that the highest bidder knows that if he’s into handbagging, he’s got a weapon with quite a track record,” Carol Thatcher said.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands – The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, his son and his intelligence chief for crimes against humanity in the early days of their struggle to cling to power. Judges announced Monday that Gadhafi is wanted for orchestrating the killing, injuring, arrest and imprisonment of hundreds of civilians during the first 12 days of an uprising to topple him from power after more than four decades, and for trying to cover up the alleged crimes. The warrants turn Gadhafi, his son Seif al-Islam Gadhafi and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Sanoussi into internationally wanted suspects, potentially complicating any efforts to mediate an end to more than four months of intense fighting in the North African nation.
