Man Accused of Shoving Phone Down Throat

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - Prosecutors say a man shoved a cell phone down his girlfriend'* throat because he was angry and jealous. But defense attorneys insisted as a trial got underway that the woman swallowed the phone intentionally to keep the defendant from seeing whom she had been calling.

Marlon Brando Gill, 24, is charged with first-degree assault in the December incident involving 25-year-old Melinda Abell.

Abell has given inconsistent accounts of what happened before she was taken to a hospital, where an emergency room doctor removed the phone.

She testified Tuesday on the first day of Gill'* trial that she couldn't remember how the phone got in her throat, saying she had too much to drink that night.

She said in court that she could not recall writing a statement to police after the incident, in which she said: "I think he thought I'd been talking to other guys. ... He took my phone to see who I had been calling."

The statement added: "If I didn't want him to see my phone, I would have just thrown it out the window and busted it."

I know people like this! That is ridiculous! Phones are too expensive to throw away or try to swallow

What the heck kinda phone fits down someone'* throat?? I mean, if she were Linda Lovelace I could see it, but a normal person???

Linda Lovelace, huh? That name sure flowed from your fingertips I have no clue what kind of a phone it could be. It would be more feasible if it were the bluetooth headset as opposed to a whole phone. You should never put anything down your throat bigger than a banana. Oh wait, that was never stick anything smaller than a banana in your ear. nevermind
