Novelist’s ex-wife arrested in bizarre gun/alient incident

Ok.  Yikes.

JANUARY 8--A domestic dispute over space aliens escalated Saturday morning when a lingerie-clad New Mexico woman allegedly pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend, a weapon she retrieved from her vagina, where it had been placed while the accused was performing a sex act, police allege.

To make matters more strange, the arrested woman is the most recent ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Cormac McCarthy, author of "The Road" and "No Country for Old Men."

As detailed in a probable cause statement, Jennifer McCarthy, a 48-year-old artist, argued about space aliens with her 53-year-old beau, whose name was redacted from the document released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office. When questioned by deputies, McCarthy reportedly acknowledged that she "did have a gun at the time" the couple was yelling at each other.

McCarthy's boyfriend told investigators that following the argument McCarthy departed her Aventura Road residence. Upon returning to the home, he told deputies, McCarthy went into her bedroom and later emerged "wearing lingerie and a silver handgun in her vagina." She then proceeded to "have inner course with the gun," according to the court filing.

This story gives a whole new meaning to the saying "I'm a son of a gun!"

A bit of backstory here, Cormac McCarthy is quite literally one of the best authors America has ever produced. Read "Blood Meridian" or his "Cities on the Plain" trilogy. The man is a genius.

I guess this puts him on the same level with our other American genius, Edgar Allen Poe. Great writer, weird and creepy personal life.
