Man sent bloody cow's head to wife's lover

A Westmoreland County man who mailed a bloody cow's head to his wife's lover has been admitted to probation and community service.

Jason Michael Fife "understands that in a civilized society a person cannot send a severed cow's head to anybody," said his defence lawyer, Henry Hilles.

"My client did step over the line here, but one can certainly understand his frustration, given that the victim was carrying on an affair with my client's wife," Mr. Hilles said.

Mr. Fife and his wife, who have a young child, later reconciled, Mr. Hilles said.
