Did A Water Gun Fight Lead To The Arrest Of A Canadian Woman?

Did a water gun fight lead to the arrest of a Canadian woman? That's what she's claiming!

It's summer, the weather's hot, and it can be a good time for a water gun fight. It's a great way to have some fun and even cool off in the heat. However, one woman in Canada remains in disbelief after she was charged with assault with a weapon for what she says was spraying a person during a water gun fight, per Windsor Star!

Water guns are usually designed in odd shapes and bright colors to let everyone know that it is not a real weapon. You don't want anyone confusing the 2 as they are drastically different and serve different purposes. However, it sounds like those designs don't always help you even when they should.

According to Windsor Star, 58-year-old Wendy Washik was named in a news release after a Labor Day Weekend incident on Woodway Trail in Simcoe and has even been suspended from her job because of it. She tells Windsor Star, "I'm very upset that my full name was disclosed (but) the type of weapon wasn't mentioned." On September 1st, law enforcement was reportedly alerted to a neighbor dispute where one person was said to be physically assaulted but no injuries were reported.

It sounds like she was hoping the news release mentioned it was a water gun and not a real gun. Meanwhile, OPP spokesperson Const. Andrew Gamble tells Windsor Star that details about what kinds of weapons are involved are not generally shared with the public. Washik's daughter says her mother was in a water gun fight with some neighbor kids when another neighbor was hit with a rogue spray of water, per Windsor Star. However, when police arrived to the scene she was criminally charged over it.

Now, a GoFundMe has been started to try to help her with legal fees as she's been suspended from her 25-year career as an educational assistant, per Windsor Star. Const. Gamble tells Windsor Star that every investigation is handled appropriately, telling Windsor Star, "We are committed to maintaining high standards in our investigative work, regardless of how the public may perceive the allocation of resources. Our focus remains on doing our job effectively, ensuring that each case receives the attention it deserves, regardless of public perception."

She's set to appear in court on September 24th. I've had some bad neighbors in my life, but never one who'd charge me over a water gun fight! If that's really all there is to this story then that's crazy!

How's she goin' eh? Canadians hold a special place in our hearts. That's why you'll frequently hear about 'Those Crazy Canadians' on Dave & Chuck The Freak. However, not every famous Canadian has done something worthy of making the segment. In fact, many celebrities are indeed Canadian. Here are 7 'Eh-List' Celebrity Canadians that everyone knows.

Now, just because everyone knows these celebrity Canadians that have become household names doesn't mean they know these celebs are Canadian! Of course, some will be obvious than others.

Some of the biggest names in show business are Canadians. There are musicians, actors, comedians, and athletes alike that all hail from Canada. These Canadians are our buddies, they are our guys, and they are our friends. Sorry, South Park.

I decided to do a list of 7 'Eh-List' celebrity Canadians, but there are much more than 7 of them. Limiting the list to only 7 caused a few problems. That meant some big names were being left on the cutting room floor!

Here are some recognizable names of celebrities you might not have known were Canadian that didn't make the list of 7: Keanu Reeves, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, the late Matthew Perry, William Shatner, Will Arnett, Neil Young, and more!

When you look at the full list, it's actually very impressive! The funniest comedians in the game seem to be from Canada. There's Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, and more that we'll talk about in a minute. Then, the world of rock and roll is no different! You've got Chad Kroeger, Avril Lavigne (think they mind being so close to each other on this list?), and who could forget The Barenaked Ladies? Also, I know he's not rock but I feel like I have to mention Michael Buble because he's Canadian and I think we'd get along very well.

Regardless, here are 7 'Eh-List' celebrity Canadians!

Seth Rogen is one of my favorite people on the planet. He's hilarious and he seems like a good dude. In other words, the ultimate Canadian! He talks about growing up in Canada a lot. He has a lot of pride for his homeland.

Honestly, if I could pick one celebrity to hangout with, I'd pick Seth. I have no doubt we'd be good friends.

Justin Bieber might not have all the traits that Canadians are known for having, like being pleasant and generally nice, but he still is Canadian! The superstar was born in London, Canada. They might not want to claim him, but it remains true.

Jim Carrey is another funny person from Canada. He was born in Newmarket, Canada. One of the funniest people of all-time, in my opinion. You can always count on Jim for a laugh.

You probably were aware that Drake is Canadian. He talks about it a lot in his music...like a lot! He's also frequently spotted at Toronto Raptor games. Yeah, he's Canadian.

Ryan Gosling isn't just Ken--he's Canadian! It rhymed better in my head. Ryan proves Canadians aren't just kind or funny...they can be sexy, too!

Speaking of sexy Canadians, that brings us to Pamela Anderson! Yes, indeed, she is Canadian. She was born in Ladysmith, Canada. She was originally discovered at a BC Lions football game in Vancouver wearing a Labatt's Beer t-shirt. How Canadian is that??

Ryan Reynolds is many things: an actor, a soccer team owner, an entrepreneur, a father, a husband, and most importantly--a Canadian. He was born in Vancouver. His father was even a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman! Very Canada.
