Virginia might be for lovers, but a Carroll County Virginia woman apparently didn’t get the memo. In a story that started off like a bad Penthouse Forum letter, an unclothed woman allegedly walked into a man’s home Austinville, Virginia last week.

That probably sounded interesting for the homeowner, but police say the naked Paula Michelle Locklear, 35, then picked up a cast iron frying pan and started beating the male homeowner about the head with it.

The homeowner managed to push the crazed woman – still wielding the frying pan – out the back door and locked it. Meanwhile, Mr. Homeowner said the woman screamed at him to get out of her house and she threatened to kill him.

Still naked and still very angry, and now on the residence’s back porch, Ms. Locklear proceeded to turn off the circuit breakers to the home. From there, she began smashing a kitchen window while continuing to threaten the resident. He grabbed a gun and when she tried to beat down the door, he shot her through the door, striking her once in the lower leg.

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.

Moral of the story…lock your doors. You may have spent most of your teenage years dreaming of a naked woman waltzing in your back door, but as the Virginia man just discovered, she may not be of sound mind when she does. And she might try to brain you with a skillet. Or worse.
