Space aliens are apparently quite a passionate topic for at least one New Mexico woman.

A domestic dispute that resulted from an argument about the existence of space aliens ended when Jennifer McCarthy of Santa Fe allegedly pulled a handgun from her genital area and pointed it at her boyfriend.


McCarthy was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault on a household member after she allegedly stopped performing a sex act with a silver Smith and Wesson and pointed it at her boyfriend’s head.

"Who is crazy, you or me?" she reportedly asked him, referencing the earlier argument about aliens.

Before the gun came into play in a threatening way, McCarthy had emerged from the couple’s bedroom wearing lingerie with the firearm in her genital area.

According to a police statement filed in Magistrate Court, the boyfriend took the gun away from McCarthy because he was afraid she was going to pull the trigger and put it in the toilet. It eventually ended up in a trash can outdoors where a deputy ultimately found it.

Although McCarthy did tell the deputy she had a gun, she said it had been "missing for a while." She posted bail and was released from jail on Sunday.
