Helen Ann Williams, a 44-year-old South Carolina woman, stabbed her boyfriend with a ceramic squirrel because he came home late on Christmas Eve without beer.

She also ran over another boyfriend with a U-haul truck.

At the time of both incidents, Helen lived in Moncks Corner, a tiny town in Berkely County. Within a span of five years, she would be arrested three times — once for assault, once for public intoxication, and once for murder.

This is her true crime story.

She Stabbed Her Boyfriend With a Squirrel

Helen’s story gets interesting fast.

On Christmas Eve, 2013, her common-law husband came home later than expected. You can imagine that she was mad.

What upset her even more, according to reports, is that he arrived empty-handed. She had sent him out to pick up beer but the store was closed. Enraged, she approached him from behind and struck him over the head with the ceramic figurine of a squirrel.

Blood oozed from the wound.
