Apartment #26, You Say?

Here's a lovely story out of Framingham from yesterday's MetroWest Daily News:

FRAMINGHAM -- A Framingham man with a violent past is being held on $7,500 bail after he allegedly grabbed his girlfriend of eight months by the neck and bit her under her left eye early yesterday morning.

For the second time since October, Eric C. Newlon, 36, of 555 Worcester Road, Apt. 26, is behind bars for allegedly assaulting his 38-year-old girlfriend, according to police records.

During the course of their stormy eight-month relationship, Newlon, a convicted criminal, has broken his girlfriend's nose six times, knocked out three of her front teeth, broke her ribs and threatened to rape the woman's 13-year-old daughter, a Framingham police report said.

I'm sure he's a just a regular sweetheart for those rare moments when he's not beating the living shit out of his girlfriends. For this woman's sake, I pray that this dirtbag doesn't post bail. If he walks, she's toast. Speaking of bail, the judge who even made that an option needs to be on receiving end of a swift kick in the nuts - any volunteers?

And, I'm not condoning any kind of illegal activity, but in case you missed it, that was:
