A discussion about the Bible and the Ten Commandments ended Saturday in a bloody domestic dispute at a Cartersville motel.
Police were called about 1 a.m. to a Crown Inn motel room at 1214 N. Tennessee St. in Cartersville, with the original call a 911 hangup, according to the Cartersville Police Department incident report, above.
When an officer arrived, he noticed fresh blood on the carpet and a bloody towel in the sink. The occupants of the room, Carolyn Murley Unfricht, 56, and Daniel Joseph Camarda, 35, "were highly intoxicated with slurred speech and having some difficulty walking," the officer wrote in the report.
Unfricht told police the two had been talking about the Bible and the Ten Commandments, the discussion "became heated" and she "arose from her seat with the Bible in hand and struck...Camarda across the face," causing a red mark to his face and breaking his glasses, the report says.
She said "Camarda then slung her across the room striking the television and a table" and "at some point during being thrown around she struck her head causing a cut...(and injuring) her right foot."

(18,219 posts)The only unanswered question is "what started that argument?" Was one of them anti-Ten Commandments? Or was it just an interpretation problem?

(3,205 posts)...a man and a woman, not married to each other, drunk in a hotel room at 1am have an arguement over the Ten Commandments that turned violent? What were they argueing over, which commandment to break first?

(6,907 posts)they probably weren't arguing over what the 10 commandments "say" or "mean" they were probably arguing over the plan to put the 10 commandments on display at the state capital. See for example - http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/24234756/proposal-would#axzz2opFHbXJV
