Prisoner charged with pork chop stabbing

This is just too good to pass up...
LEXINGTON, Okla., -- An inmate at an Oklahoma prison has been charged with assaulting another prisoner with a dangerous weapon, a sharpened pork chop bone. The Smoking Gun Web site reports that Ernesto Hernandez-Rosales is serving an eight-year sentence at the Lexington Correctional Center for distributing marijuana. He allegedly stabbed Jermaine Portillo in the eye with the bone last month. The Web site says that Portillo, only 21, has had an adventurous life in prison. He was charged during an earlier stretch behind bars with "placing bodily fluid on a government employee."

Just imagine how this would be reported and play out in other locales, heh.
