SPRINGFIELD (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A Springfield man will face several charges after allegedly attacking his girlfriend with a forklift. Police say 41-year old Brian Hurley got into an argument with the victim in their car over the weekend. Hurley allegedly slapped her, then got out of the car and started kicking it. Police say he got into a forklift, picked the car up off the ground, and then dropped it after driving it a short distance while his girlfriend was still inside. Hurley is due in court later this week.
Say what you want about the guy, there is no defending a man slapping a woman, so it's a shame that's the route he took first.
Because if he'd avoided the whole battered wife thing, this guy would have went down in history for angry husband rages, as a role model for all belittled male spouses. The pioneer of the "body slam your car with your wife inside with a forklift that you conveniently keep in your garage for just such occasions," routine.
