Annette Kielhurn won’t be eager to break out her sex toy collection any time soon.

The 57-year-old Florida resident was arrested over the weekend after allegedly striking her girlfriend, Gamze Capaner-Ridley, 47, in the face with a dildo.

A St. Petersburg police officer witness the altercation, while overseeing Capaner-Ridley’s removal of her belongings from the couple’s residence. It came after she filed the previous day for a civil domestic violence injunction against Kielhurn.

Both women started arguing over the ownership of a specific dress. According to a police report obtained by The Smoking Gun, Kielhurn “grabbed the victim with one arm and used the other to pull a dress out of [Capaner-Ridley’s] hand.” The police officer told Kielhurn not to touch Capaner-Ridley and instead tell her what could and could not stay in the house — the removal process was apparently supposed to be “civil.”

Unfortunately, Kielhurn’s anger only increased. She picked up the aforementioned dildo and “intentionally shoved” it in Capaner-Ridley’s face, grabbing her arm again while arguing over the ownership.

Capaner-Ridley told Kielhurn “not to touch her and get away” repeatedly, which forced the officer to step in. She was arrested for domestic battery. According to the report, the “weapon” was not taken as evidence.

Kielhurn, who apparently has Capaner-Ridley’s name tattooed on her chest, was charged with a misdemeanor and released on $500 bail. The Daily Mail reports that she was arrested in June on a trespassing charge, while in 1996, she was jailed for three years after police found her passed out in a rental car. After searching the car, they found 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of cocaine in the trunk.

Metro Weekly can’t confirm who eventually kept the dress — or the dildo.
