A Long Island man has been arrested for allegedly splashing bleach at a laundromat employee he believed had lost some of the clothes he had dropped off.
Randy Stith, of Hempstead, was charged with assault and possession of a dangerous weapon on Wednesday.
Nassau County police say Stith went to the Laundry Place in Hempstead on Saturday to pick up the clothes he had dropped off to be laundered. They say he got into a dispute with the woman over the clothes.
Police say he pushed her against a table and then hit her in the face with an open bottle of bleach.
The bleach splashed into the woman's eyes. She was treated at a hospital.
It wasn't immediately clear if Stith had a lawyer.

That poor lady must have been in alot of pain. Bleach can be deadly and I'm glad that guy was arrested for assault and possession of a dangerous weapon. What a horrible thing to do to someone all because of some of his clothes were missing.

This guy has some real issues. Why would he think someone stole his clothes to begin with. Does he have designer clothes or something??? Poor woman, I feel really sorry for her having to put up with such jerks.
They should splash some bleach into his eyes so he knows what it feels like. This poor woman will probably have lasting damage to her eyes now....over clothes??? I dont think he would have reacted the same if the employee had been a big man!!

I don't know if it's funny as much as it's plain stupid. Stith is going to need a lawyer...and anger management for a long period of time. I wonder how much damage was done to the lady's eyes? Apparently, not much if she was "treated", but still... (Wow, you've been busy this morning searching the news... The wind is picking up, so golf is slowly fading from my day's agenda. Maybe, I'll get dressed and go shopping in El Paso with my neighbors. It's really the eating at the Greenery part I'm most interested in... Have a great day.)
