The case is from Iowa City. The suspect had reportedly been living with her sister and the sister's husband for a couple of months. The toilet-tank lid was employed during an "altercation," the police say.

I have to admit, I got a good laugh out of this one. I wonder if this happened in a trailer.

"I wonder if this happened in a trailer"
In that the address is 2401 Highway 6 E. No. 3805, I'll bet it did!

Hit in the head by the head.
What are the odds?

Marvin, I don't think any version of the word "smart" fits with this story. LMAO

Looks like she's the one who got hit.

Was she dangerous enough that she wanted to kill her own sister? Or was she stupid enough, or out-of-control enough not to understand what damage she could do? Or was she tanked?

All of the above?
