This is when Easter eggs turn dangerous … A Pittsburgh man was arrested for aggravated assault and harassment after hitting his girlfriend with hard-boiled Easter eggs.
On Sunday, 27-year-old Aaron Goempel and his girlfriend were dyeing the holiday eggs at an egg decorating party, but he began to pelt his girlfriend with the brightly-colored projectiles. He left her with a black, swollen eye.

After police were summoned, the egg thrower barricaded himself in a bedroom and used an exercise machine to block police. Once cops knocked down the door, Goempel reached for his knife and sword collection, but was quickly apprehended. While being escorted to police vehicles, Goempel screamed racial slurs and managed to kick a police officer in the groin.
The festive assault wasn’t Goempel’s first run-in with police. Since 2008, he plead guilty to disorderly conduct and public drunkenness charges. He also awaits trial for separate incidents of harassment, prowling, assault, and traffic violations.
