This is the first time I’ve ever heard of a crime solved by spelling
ABC reports that a Vermont woman named Brittany Speckman recently found the word “sult” scratched onto the hood of her car. She figured that someone was trying to call her a slut (and not, say complaining about salt or sultans), and surmised that this someone was her ex-boyfriend Adam Hall, who had been bad-mouthing her. When police questioned Hall, he denied touching Speckman’s car. But when they asked him to write “You are a slut” on a sheet of paper, he wrote, “You are a sult.” The police charged him with unlawful mischief.
