Cheat At Monopoly? That’s A Stabbin’

October 28, 2011 at 1:57 am by Jaded

Santa Fe, NM — Laura Chavez, 60, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning for allegedly stabbing her boyfriend during an intense game of Monopoly.

According to police, the two had been playing Monopoly with Chavez’s 10-year-old grandson before the alleged poking occurred. The boy told police the couple began arguing because his grandma believed her boyfriend was cheating at the game. Though police have yet to specify how he was cheating, my guess is that he either palmed Boardwalk and Park Place, or was pilfering 100′s from the bank.

Fortunately, the boy didn’t witness any of the ensuing bloodshed…the real violence started after he was sent to bed.

After the grandkiddo was tucked in for the night, it was on. Chavez allegedly knocked the boyfriend upside the skull with a glass bottle. Police say she then grabbed hold of a butcher knife and proceeded to repeatedly stab the 48-year-old man, causing injuries to the top of his head, neck, left eyebrow and right wrist area.

When police arrived, Chavez mentioned that her boyfriend had pushed her and she asked him to leave her apartment. She then informed an officer that she may have stabbed the man. Police believe both the stabber and the stabbee were intoxicated at the time. Shocking.

Chavez was booked on charges of aggravated battery on a household member with a deadly weapon, battery upon a peace officer, assault upon a peace officer and resisting or evading a police officer. Bond was set at $5,000. The victim remains hospitalized in stable condition. The kiddo was simply spending the night with Chavez – he’s back with his parents.

Monopoly is a serious game. I know cause I ended up with a HARD (JACK AND COKE)drink tossed in my face one night over it. And I didn’t even cheat. I just wouldn’t give up my property I bought and paid for damnit. She scores one from me!!!

I never did like Monopoly…Maybe that makes me unAmurican….But I just don’t find it worth a stabbing.

I agree the response was totally over blown. Monopoly is, maybe, worth a good smack or two, but not worth drawing blood over. I only get stabby over Risk. The boys refuse to play it with me anymore, cowards.

Wouldn’t the stabbed and the stabbee be the same person? Perhaps I’ve misunderstood something.

I caught my little sister cheating once. She was in jail and was throwing for doubles to get out. She threw a double but it would have landed her on my property, hotel and all. She grabbed the dice and tried to pretend she didn’t make it, but I saw her. But I didn’t get stabby, although it did take the ER docs three hours to get the little metal dog out of her nose.

My sister cheated me once…… ONCE!!

Is that a pic of the stabber or stabee?

“grandma believed her boyfriend was cheating at the game.”

“he either palmed Boardwalk and Park Place, or was pilfering 100?s from the bank.”

See – Blacks don’t have these issues when we play Monopoly;I’m not sure why though …

By the time all is said and done, I won’t feel safe playing ANY board games with my family. So, wanna play Twister?

I am still trying to understand the attraction some people have for this game … every single spot says – “Go To Jail.”

Seriously. That is awful. I cannot smile or laugh about it at all. It makes me feel sick even looking at it.

I find it boring … and confining … but that’s about it.

Actually, Cedric, only Medusa’s sisters Stheno and Euryale were immortal. Medusa was actually slain by Persesus.

Well played.

You got me on that … but still … I was under the impression that was the only way she could die (losing her head).So – assuming that she was not actually killed by Persesus, it’s totally possible that Laura is really Medusa.

Sounds great. Who’s bringing the magic mushrooms? (Hell, if we’re going retro, I want hallucinogenics and a cheese fondue!)
LeaveMeBe

You’re welcome. And nah, not really. It just struck me wrong for some reason. Not putting you down or judging you for it, or anyone else who laughed or commented. I’m on my period so that could be it.
Jemimabean

I think it’s merely a broad spectrum dissatisfaction with the futility of board games in general. I can get a little slap- happy in a heated session of Balderdash.
LeaveMeBe

You bring fondue, I’ll bring mushrooms and Hekate can bring the liquor. Wait, I got the weirdest sense of de ja vu. Have we done this before? I think donuts were involved, but I I really don’t remember anything else that night…

I understand your situation. While waiting for my coffee to finish dripping this morning, I burned my cinnamon raisin toast and instantly realized that I should have waited for the coffee before trying to operate a toaster.

If you’ve ever stabbed your lover over a game of Monopoly, you might be a redneck.

Everybody knows you cheat at Monopoly you is gonna get your ass whooped. I don’t know why Monopoly brings out the violent sociopaths in people. Maybe becoz it is already a never ending game then some asshole goes and cheats making the game that much longer.

What a rough looking mugshot. Personally, I think this picture would have been more appropriate.

What about:

Crack Street 200.00
Rap Avenue 1500.00
Snoop Street 2000.00
Ho Avenue 2500.00
Pimp Place 3000.00

Honestly, I’m just kidding Ced, but that would be kind of funny.
