Woman Pleads Guilty To Saucepan Assault
A 40-year-old woman who assaulted her sister with a kitchen saucepan and stick during a fight at their shared home over food was today [June 28] given a conditional discharge.
Tara Burrows pleaded guilty to assault and violently resisting arrest in May of this year. The court heard both sisters were at the home they share in Sandys when a heated argument began over cookies disappearing from the kitchen.
The Court heard the defendant hit her sister with a kitchen pot, and that the victim rushed out of the house, however was chased by her sister who then hit her with the pot again outside.
She shouted “I will kill you” at her sister, with the Court heard that eventually neighbours had to help break up the fight.
Police were called to the scene, and Tara Burrows proceeded to try and bite the police officer while being arrested, leading to the additional charge of violently resisting arrest.
Magistrate Warner handed down a conditional discharge to Ms Burrows.

Over some damn cookies oh my times must be hard
REALITY CHECK!! I guess this economy decline hasn’t hit your home yet, but if it does I hope we don’t read about you taking some drastic measures. Do we really know the whole story or are we assuming we do because of the media. Did you ever stop to think,how far would 1 dozen cookies and some children go during hard times.So,1,2 or more cookies taken makes a big difference Then how many cookies are left for the children to have for school snack if times are really hard. We don’t know, so just remember hard times and taking care of the children. Also, there is more to this story than that.
You want a cookie? You sound like you need a cookie. I actually have the munchies myself. Arnolds is closed now so tomorrow I’ll go get some nabiscos…better yet those ones made by that little white dude u poke in the stomach n he makes noises, the ones already in portion sized squares and you just break um up n BANG! 30 Cookies! Circular f@ckin cookies! Out of squares…even better yet we guys google this b!tch and make our own cookies from scratch for the price of a slice a bread…cuz cookies don’t just come from keebler elves, you could actually make um yaself.
Sounds like a real “cookie monster.”
Musta been some good cookies.
Wow! Just wait until we are reduced to standing in the bread lines…..
3rd world poverty = every man for himself.
times are hard…every cookie counts!!
So does the complaintant have to bake restitution or are we talking about a completely different type of cookie here?
So does the victim have to bake restitution or are we talking about a completely different cookie here?
I can just picture it…on a quiet night in the Burrows home, the aroma of chocolate chocolate chip cookies fills the air.
Defendant: oh my verd! That cookie was vell!
Victim: that’s wat he said! (Lol)
Defendant: de f@ck?! *pang*
Victim: oh sh!t!!! Help!!! Shez gon keel me!!!
Defendant: no b!tch, ima keel you!
……..
Judge: Mrs. Burrows, how do you plead to the charge of resisting arrest, stemming from the act of biting a police officer?
Defendant: mm-mm I wouldn’t mind another bite outa that chocolate chip, my lawd.
Judge: I’m sorry what was that?
Defendant: guilty ya ona…
Come Correct-you should be a stand-up comedian…you made me crack up!
CC DUN MAKE ME HOLLAR!!
come correct …ya truly funny!
Those cookies were to die for .
Its a sad situation when you hungry!!! but I have had a huge laugh for the day following the comments….BerOnions are truly a funny people!! LMAO today!!
The two sisters must feel really embarrassed to have articles on all three social medias; Bernews, Bermuda Sun and the Royal Gazette.
To have a private argument over something so silly as cookies be made public. Glad to hear that they are getting some help to resolve their issues.
Good question. What kind of cookie snack were they fighting about???
Either way…SHE SOUNDS LIKE A WILD ANIMAL…NO CONTROL!!!
DAMN IT, THATS YOUR SISTER…
I’M GONNA KILL YOU??!!!??? OVER WHAT???
WOMEN LIKE YOU ARE PART OF THE REASON WHY THESES YOUNG PEOLE ARE SOO IRATIONAL AND MURDEROUS!!!
hOW WOULD YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER REACT IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION???
SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO DO ANGER MANAGEMENT OR SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.
C’mon Mr. Warner!!! These issues should not be taken so lightly!!!
Bermuda is suffering from a disease that stem frm things like this…However harmless it may seem or sound; theses are the sort of things that have and adverse effect on our society.
I applaud you for not financially penalizing her, but there should be more creative ways that the courts can use to send the right message across.
What message was sent here?
What did she learn?
She even bit a cop…disgusting…
If i was a cop and someone tried to bit me…man or woman…they would get whats coming…
What message was sent here? If you do the crime, you may not get the time.
What did she learn? I am a women, hear me roar.
This is another example of the skewed judicial system and its favoritism to women, as only “men” commit any crimes worthy of punishment.
Man assaults a woman with saucepan, gets 6 months in jail.
A female does the same and “slap” on the wrist, with a don’t do it again ?!?
Really?
What was in those cookies that made them SOOOOO special???????? hmmmm….. lol
Must have been them “Scooby Snacks”
One of the sisters tried to bite the police officer..she is one hungry chick!
BTW, why is a 40 year old fighting over cookies, sounds like some unresolved issues from her childhood. LMAO!
I guess she was down with OPC!
Other Peoples Cookies. What? The mad sister don’t like people eating her cookies?
if the ministers can have kitchen fights so can we !
@ lets get serious: N there you go! The message from the top is fighting in the kitchen is fine.
