Cell phone lodged in woman's throat

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 when she tried to swallow it.

The woman got into an argument with a boyfriend, and when he asked for the cell phone, she gulped it down, said Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department.

"She didn't want him to have it, so she swallowed the phone, or at least she tried to," Decker said.

Police responded to the call about a non-breathing person about 4:50 a.m. in the 3000 block of Southwest U.S. 40, he said. Police arrived and found the 24-year-old woman was having trouble breathing. Her identity was not released.

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.

A condition report was not available. But Decker said the woman apparently was going to be OK.

This was the first case of an ingested cell phone for Blue Springs police, he said.

I'll bet that's the first time EVER not just in Blue Springs.

Tell me do you think she got roaming charges?

If you're swallowing a cell phone because you're having a spat with your significant other, you're over reacting. But hey, at least she didn't shoot him, or slice off his junk as could be stereotypically expected in the sleepy hamlet of Blue Springs.

Side note: I could think of quite a few jokes involving swallowing but alas, or alack, or total bummer, I can't say any of them here.

Wrong call on cell-phone swallowing woman

Police say she didn’t swallow device voluntarily, but was victim of assault

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. - A woman who police thought deliberately tried to swallow her cell phone during an argument with her boyfriend was apparently the victim of an assault instead, authorities said.

Police have a suspect in the bizarre incident that sent the 24-year-old woman to the hospital last week, Sgt. Allen Kintz said. Police would not say whether the boyfriend was the suspect and would not explain exactly what they believe happened.

“It appears she didn’t voluntarily swallow this phone,†Kintz said. “It’s not quite the way it was first portrayed.â€

Early Friday, police responded to a call from a Blue Springs man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. Police arrived to find a woman with a cell phone lodged in her throat.

Police were initially told the boyfriend wanted the phone and the woman tried to swallow it so that he could not get it.
