The pitchfork thief stabbed a woman in the arm and stomach. She also allegedly assaulted a police officer.

The crime spree began around 2:20 p.m. in the 5800 block of Old Town Goleta, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. After a man heard something on his roof, he went outside and saw a woman had grabbed a pitchfork from his yard and was holding it in a threatening manner toward him.

The man ran back inside the house and locked the door. The woman then went to another house on the street and entered the residence.

There, the intruder grabbed a woman’s cell phone and used her other hand to wave the pitchfork in a threatening manner.

The stabbing occurred a little later. The female victim did not need to go to the hospital.

Sheriff’s deputies found the suspect at a Goleta 7-11 and arrested her. She is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, attempted homicide, burglary and assault on a peace officer.

How do you get stabbed in the stomach with a pitchfork and not have to get medical treatment?


Who on earth wrote this???? I can hardly make sense of the sequence of events.


Looks pretty plain to me. A maniacal female with evil intentions went on a crime spree in Goleta obviously intending harm to at least three individuals. Keep your pitchforks and other potentially dangerous garden tools in a locked shed—otherwise your tools may be, without forewarning, turned into deadly weapons!


Pointless I might add.


Woman is lucky she wasn’t shot to death!


I am calling for a ban, or at the very least, a ten day waiting period on the purchase of pitchforks.


one word “meth”


Bet me.
