According to a police report in the news today, Anna F. Krantz, 53, Kenner, was booked Saturday with aggravated battery and simple battery after her daughters, 25 and 27, emptied a bottle of her prized vodka into the bathroom sink and then locked themselves in a bedroom.
Krantz was obviously intoxicated at the onset, but this act fueled her further into a drunken rage, as she pried her way into the bedroom with the use of a butter knife. To add insult to injury, or vice-versa: "In the process of opening the door, she stabbed one of her daughters in the hip, causing a small laceration and bruise. ... The daughter had been leaning against the door so her mother could not gain entrance." In the process, daughter number two, six weeks pregnant, was elbowed in the stomach several times, which incited vomiting.
This is the version of the story told to police, though Krantz insists that these details aren't even close, but she declined to be more specific as to what she believes happened.
"Krantz was released from Jefferson Parish Correctional Center Monday after posting a $5,500 bond."
Damn, there goes this weekend's drinking money!
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone. I feel horrible for the daughters, who are obviously trying to help their mother, but I also feel terribly for the mother, who has just as obviously lost her children's trust. I hope that this family can put itself back together. Alcoholism is a disease that affects us all.
