SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Prosecutors say a Northern California woman stabbed to death her boyfriend's bearded dragon lizard.
The San Mateo County district attorney's office has charged 37-year-old Shawna Kim Apour with felony animal cruelty for killing the 14-year-old lizard, Speedy.
Sheriff's Lt. Ray Lunny says the San Carlos woman used a 3-inch knife to stab the lizard during a Saturday morning domestic dispute. Investigators say Apour brandished a knife at deputies, who used a stun gun to subdue her.
The San Jose Mercury News says Apour is also facing charges for a Tuesday night incident in which she tried to wrestle a firearm and stun gun away from a deputy. Apour was stopped for walking on railroad tracks near a Caltrain station.
She is in jail with bail set at $200,000.
