Lincoln County woman charged for putting fireworks under toilet bowl

MERRILL, Wis. (WSAW) – A 27-year-old woman will be charged with domestic battery after being accused of staging an unusual prank.

Last Thursday, a deputy with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a man injured by fireworks.

Deputies found that the woman was asked by a 36-year-old man to place an exploding firework under the toilet bowl. The firework was designed to explode when pressure was applied and exploded when the man sat on the toilet. The explosion from small fireworks caused minor injuries to a 45-year-old man.
