Connecticut Woman Sues Husband for Sticking Carrot in Her Eye

April 25, 2008

A Monroe, Conn. woman is suing her husband, claiming he caused her to lose an eye when he threw a carrot at her during an argument.

The lawsuit filed by Pamela Vecsey claims that when she and her husband, 48-year-old Roderick Vecsey were arguing on July 14, 2006, in their home, her husband threw a carrot from about 20 feet away.

The woman's lawyer says Pamela Vecsey was hit in the left eye by the carrot which ruptured the eyeball. The eye was removed and she now has a glass eye.

Roderick Vecsey was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct. The charges against him were later dropped.

The couple still live together.
