My apologies if this has already been posted. I just think it is one of the more bizarre news stories I have seen lately.

The Kansas City Star

A Blue Springs woman was taken to a hospital emergency room early today after a cell phone became lodged in her throat.

The woman was in an argument with a boyfriend when the incident occurred, said Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department.

Decker said police were told that the woman tried to swallow the telephone because she didn't want the boyfriend to have it. However the case is under investigation.

The woman was taken to the emergency room at St. Mary's Hospital in Blue Springs. She still had the telephone in her throat upon arrival at the hospital, Decker said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A Missouri lovers' spat over a cell phone took a serious turn this morning. Blue Springs police say the woman stopped an argument with her boyfriend by swallowing the phone whole.

Police say they responded to a call at about 4:50 A-M from a man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they got to the house, they found a 24-year-old woman with a cell phone lodged in her throat.

Police say the woman swallowed the phone instead of handing it over to her boyfriend.

The woman's identity has not been released, but police say she is at St. Mary's Medical Center in Blue Springs. Detective Sergeant Steve Decker says he doesn't know what kind of phone it was, or whether it was on ring or vibrate.
