Man Who Mailed Cow's Head To Wife's Lover Sentenced
POSTED: 10:22 am PST January 9, 2008
NORRISTOWN, Pennsylvania -- A Pennsylvania man who mailed a severed cow's head to his wife's lover has been sentenced to probation and community service.
Jason Michael Fife's lawyer Henry Hilles says his client -- quote -- "understands that in a civilized society a person cannot send a severed cow's head to anybody."
Authorities northwest of Philadelphia arrested Fife and charged him with stalking, terroristic threats, disorderly conduct and harassment after he allegedly sent threatening messages and pictures to the victim between May and September 2006.
In June of that year, the victim received a package containing a cow's head.
Police say the 31-year-old got the cow's head from a butcher's shop, claiming he wanted the dried skull for decoration.
Police say instead, he mailed the head frozen, so as not to alert parcel carriers to the contents.
The box became bloody after sitting on the victim's doorstep on a warm day.
Court documents show police traced the package and e-mails to Fife.
Hilles admits Fife did step over the line, but his frustration is understandable, given that the victim was carrying on an affair with his wife.
Hilles says Fife and his wife have since reconciled.
