Stalking Set-Up Foiled; Man Fed Up With Defecating Dog

In other unusual police news from the area, a woman fell asleep in a strange location.

Mastermind, she is (allegedly) not.

A Marlborough woman must have been quite satisfied with her alleged scheme to get her boyfriend's ex-wife in hot water. . She was so convincing that police got a warrant to arrest the ex. The problem is, when the ex was in custody, the woman continued to get the "threatening" text messages, which she continued to report to cops. As there was no way the ex could have been sending them while in custody without her phone, police found a new suspect, the "victim" herself. The woman had apparently been using a Pinger account, which can make it look like texts are being sent from a certain phone number. Marlborough police turned around and arrested the "victim" for faking her own stalking and lying to them about it.

Presumably she wanted one of those tasty iced coffees: because a Big Mac probably isn't going to make you any less tired. Just sayin'.
