Couple fights and gets arrested over Wii Christmas gift

It wasn’t a very Merry Christmas for one couple yesterday. Randi Young and Heath Blom were both arrested after fighting and bruising each other the Wii. Young gave the system to Blom, her boyfriend, for Christmas, but according to police, that’s not what he had wanted. Instead, Blom was hoping that he would receive a remote-controlled airplane.
Blom denied that the police were incorrect and said that he had asked his grandparents to buy him the airplane for his birthday.
He claimed, “You can’t fly an RC plane in the snow.” He did, however, admit that he was not happy with the Wii and told his grandmother so. Blom also claimed that his girlfriend called him names “for not liking the Wii.”
Eventually, after fighting for awhile, Young began packaging her bags. Thinking that his girlfriend was “walking off” with the Wii, he became angry, and Young said that she was then dragged down two flights of stairs. Blom asserted that he was simply trying to block her and then she punched him a couple of times. After that, he says he pulled her hair.
Both Young and Blom were charged with assault.
