Hair spray attack was not pretty

Hair spray is usually a weapon in the battle of the sexes. But sometimes, it can just be a weapon.

Thursday night, Tampa police Officer Shane Gadoury approached Bethany Blattner, 24, of Brandon on a Tampa street on suspicion of violating open container laws. Blattner tried to leave the scene, and when Gadoury stopped her, she hit him with an aerosol can of hair spray before biting him on the thigh and trying to spray hair spray in his face, police said.

Blattner was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
