Nebraska Woman Invites Guy Over, Then Beats Him With a Hammer

Is the holiday stress of having friends and family visit getting to you?

Someone out there has it worse — a lot worse.

Ashley Nance of Omaha, Nebraska, was charged with felony assault Tuesday afternoon after police came to her house, responding to a call about a home invasion, KPTM-TV reported.

Police told KPTM that they were first told that Nance, 30, had hit a burglar with a hammer after she heard him crashing around her basement.

Then they learned that the "burglar" was actually 20-year-old Ashley Lamont, a man Nance had apparently invited into her home.

While police try to figure out why Nance invited and then bludgeoned Lamont, Nance was being held in the county jail, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

The World-Herald also reported that Ashley refused to be taken to the hospital following the incident.
