Fugitive Pieces

Yesterday, the Toronto Police arrested one Aretha Wilson under a U.S. extradition warrant for the charge of Assault with a Deadly Weapon [PDF]. What makes this particularly notable is that the person she assaulted was actor Leonardo DiCaprio, allegedly slashing his ear and neck with a beer bottle at a Los Angeles party four years ago, for which DiCaprio reportedly received seventeen stitches. While Wilson was on the lam in Toronto, she was also the subject of a country-wide warrant following a 2006 Super Bowl party, where police allege she slashed a man with a beer glass—and the man would die moments later in a fall from his eighth floor balcony, either by accident or by his own hand. Drama! To any Hollywood studios looking for their next television franchise, may we suggest Fugitive Squad: Toronto Unit?
