On 5/24/21 at 6:25 PM EDT
Ann Walsh, a 60-year-old Florida woman, allegedly attacked her 64-year-old boyfriend with soiled dog pads and Windex glass cleaner, according to the Clearwater Police Department. Walsh has since been arrested and charged with domestic battery.
In an arrest affidavit, police reported that on Thursday, May 20 near 11 p.m., Walsh attacked her boyfriend, 64-year-old Wayne Drost. Drost, who lived in an apartment with Walsh, was reportedly sitting on a couch when Walsh threw soiled dog pads at him. She then also sprayed him in the face with Windex, police said.
Katie Roberts, 44, was diagnosed with psoriasis when she was 10 years old and psoriatic arthritis at 17. Both diseases are inflammatory disorders that usually occur together, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Psoriasis symptoms include scaly, inflamed rashes, while psoriatic arthritis manifests in stiff, painful joints. When she was first diagnosed, certain medications that are now prescribed to treat psoriatic arthritis were not available, and her condition worsened over the years. When she was 20, Roberts lost mobility from the arthritis and started using a wheelchair. In 2002, Roberts started taking a biologic and is now able to do the things she loves, like yoga and stand-up paddleboarding. Now, she advocates for psoriatic arthritis awareness and serves as a chair of the Maryland Arthritis Foundation Advocacy committee.
