There are in fact some instances when dirty dishes can be considered a crime.
Such is the case in the Ingleside neighborhood where two inhabitants got into a fight over the dreaded chore of cleaning plates and cups. According to police, the female victim was laying on the couch, gabbing away on the phone when the suspect came into the room, holding a plastic plate.
The suspect ordered her to get off the phone and do the dishes. But the victim flat-out refused to clean them, and continued with her phone conversation.
The suspect threw the plate at the victim, hitting her in the face. While the victim did not suffer any injuries from the flying dish, she still called police and pressed charges against the suspected neat freak, who was later arrested on suspicion of battery.
Sounds to us like the issue here is much larger than a few dirty dishes.
