For two Zebulon people, their solutions landed them in jail.

Sharon Venetta Jefferson and Fred Lynch Jr. were both charged with assault with a deadly weapon after they smashed their beer bottles on the heads of people they were drinking with.

Jefferson, 47, of 131 E. Barbee St., was arrested April 7, five days after an altercation with her boyfriend, Arthur Jones, of 190 Westside Circle.

According to police reports, Jefferson and Jones had both been drinking at Jefferson's home on April 2, when they got in an argument. Jefferson ended the argument with a beer bottle to Jones head, according to Zebulon police Lt. Bob Grossman. Police tried to interview Jones at the scene, but he was too intoxicated to talk to officers. Investigators visited Jones the next day at WakeMed, where he was transported for treatment of his injuries. Officers took out a warrant against Jefferson and placed her in the Wake County Jail where she remains under $30,000 secured bond.

A few days later and a couple streets away, Fred Lynch Jr., 50, of 219 W. Horton St., got into an argument with Ricky Holden of South Wakefield Street at Lynch's home after a woman asked Holden to go to the store for her. Like Jefferson, Lynch allegedly ended the April 8 argument with a beer bottle to Holden's noggin. Both Holden and Lynch were intoxicated at the time of the fight. Holden was taken to WakeMed for treatment of his injuries. Lynch was arrested at the scene and later released from the Wake County Jail.

It's just too bad those beer bottles can't be crushed underfoot like their aluminum can cousins.
