Published: September 18, 2009
NEW PORT RICHEY - A 46-year-old woman woke her disabled roommate Wednesday afternoon and demanded that he go get her more beer, deputies say.
When he refused, she slapped him in the face and began tossing furniture around the room. Karna S. Rittenhouse also threw a boom box at her roommate, narrowly missing him, a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report states.
The roommate, whose name wasn't released, wasn't injured.
Rittenhouse, of 5940 Leghorn Lane, was arrested on felony charges of abusing a disabled adult and aggravated assault. She was being held Thursday at the Land O' Lakes Jail with bail set at $10,000.
