Woman bleached boyfriend's goldfish to death

A US woman has taken her anger out on her boyfriend by trashing his Orlando home and killing his five pet goldfish.

After getting into a fight with her boyfriend, Angela Garcia allegedly used bleach to kill his goldfish, reports the Orlando Sentinel.

The 32-year-old was charged with felony criminal mischief and animal cruelty on Saturday after a deputy attended the house, according to a report from the Orange County Sheriff's Office.


The alleged victim’s son told police that Ms Garcia has poured bleach into his father’s fish tank, killing five goldfish.

She is also alleged to have caused about $1500 worth of damage by destroying electronic devices and a flat-screen TV.

The victim’s son told police that his father and Ms Garcia had got into an argument earlier in the day when she was told to leave the house.

He said his father then went to work, while he stayed at home and overheard Ms Garcia telling someone on the phone that she was going to destroy her boyfriend’s property.

He told police that he then went to a friend’s house and noted that when he returned home there was a strong smell of bleach.

Police then tracked down Ms Garcia, who was visibly intoxicated and covered in bleach, the report said.

While she claimed to live at the house she had trashed, she would not answer any follow up questions.

Ms Garcia was taken into custody and brought to Orange County Jail where she was later charged.
