A Carroll County Virginia woman apparently missed the memo that Virginia is for lovers. An unclothed woman allegedly walked into a man’s home in Austinville, Virginia, last week, in a story that began like a bad Penthouse Forum letter.
That probably piqued the homeowner’s interest, but police say the naked Paula Michelle Locklear, 35, then picked up a cast iron frying pan and began beating the male homeowner over the head with it.
The homeowner was able to push the crazed woman out the back door while still holding the frying pan. Meanwhile, Mr. Homeowner claimed that the woman yelled at him to leave her house and threatened to kill him.
Ms. Locklear, still naked and furious, proceeded to turn off the house’s circuit breakers, now on the back porch. She then started smashing a kitchen window while threatening the resident. When she tried to break down the door, he grabbed a gun and shot her through it, striking her in the lower leg once.
Carroll County Sheriff’s Office reported it as such on Facebook . . .
Sheriff’s Office Communications received a report of a shooting that occurred at 2655 Loafers Rest Road, in the Austinsville section of Carroll County.
Deputies arrived on the scene and found a female with a gunshot wound to the leg. EMS personnel arrived on scene and transported the female.
During the course of the investigation, deputies determined that the shooting was the result of a breaking and entering.
The homeowner, who heard a noise at the rear area of the home, went to the kitchen and observed an unclothed female, who was unknown to the homeowner, coming into the rear door at which time began hitting the homeowner with a cast iron fry pan in the head and hand before getting her out of the house and securing the door.
The female at this time was on the back porch of the home, and began turning all the electrical breakers off to the home and started beating on the kitchen window while yelling at the homeowner to get out of her house or she was going to kill him. The female then began beating on the same door in which she had already made entry previously, at which time the homeowner discharged his firearm, striking the female in the lower leg area.
The female was identified as Paula Michelle Locklear, 35, of Austinsville. Locklear, who was later treated and released, was charged with Felony Breaking and Entering an occupied home while armed with a deadly weapon, Assault and Battery, and Damage Property. Locklear was held without bond pending arraignment in Carroll County General District Court.
No charges will be filed on the homeowner, after consulting with the Carroll County Commonwealth Attorney Roger Brooks, the shooting was justified as self-defense.

The moral of the story is to lock your doors. You may have spent the majority of your adolescent years fantasizing about a naked woman waltzing through your back door, but as a Virginia man recently discovered, she may not be of sound mind when she does.
She may also try to brain you with a skillet.
Or even worse.
