Woman accused of attacking her mother with a vibrator

A New Mexico woman allegedly bashed her mother over the head with a vibrator during a confrontation late on Sunday night, leaving the older woman bleeding profusely.



Sheryl Claffy, 60, called police to report that her daughter Cara, 35, “struck her on the head with a vibrator” and was attempting to flee from the Albuquerque home they share. The elder Claffy, bleeding from a head wound, pointed to a Ford truck and told officers her daughter was inside the vehicle.

While the car was only occupied by a male driver, an officer reported, “I did notice an electric vibrator on the passenger side floor of the vehicle.” Cara Claffy was subsequently apprehended upon exiting a nearby house. She told officers that while she had earlier argued with her mother, she did not assault her kin. In fact, Claffy claimed that her mother had emerged bleeding from a room in their home, and reported “that she had struck herself with a vibrator.”



Sheryl Claffy told officers that she was watching TV when “an argument sparked” with her daughter. Cara, she said, “grabbed an electric vibrator” and hit her over the head with the device. “Sheryl Claffy immediately felt blood streaming down her head at which time she fled the house to call for help,” an investigator noted. Claffy was arrested for domestic violence and aggravated battery on a household member. She is locked up in the Bernalillo County jail in lieu of $3,500 bond.
