Ore. woman says her boyfriend choked her with his dreadlocks
PORTLAND, Ore. - A dispute between a boyfriend and girlfriend took a strange and violent turn Monday afternoon.
A woman told police her boyfriend not only assaulted her but choked her with his dreadlocked hair.
The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. at a home in the 3200 block of Southeast 22nd Avenue.
When police arrived, the boyfriend was gone but officers were able to track him down and take him into custody.
Caleb Grotberg, 32, is now facing charges of second-degree kidnapping, second-degree attempted assault, fourth-degree assault, menacing and strangulation. He was booked into the Multnomah County Jail and is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Tuesday.
Those are dreds? Looks more to me like someone with greasy, messy, unkept hair. That picture makes him look like a smelly mess too. Gross!
She deserves it for dating a white guy with dreads. Such a tool...both of them.
Wow, racist much?
There was a woman named Delilah who had a good idea about what to do with hair like that...
Hopefully she will choose her next boyfriend more carefully..
Â
Watch out for the dreaded dreadlocks asault.
*waits for this to be in an episode of Portlandia*
Only in Oregon...
I wonder if they will shave his head and keep his hair as "Exhibit A"?
Looks like the missing link.
The bums lost Lebowski.
now there is a winner in the making, what an idiot
Gross. Â That is just nasty. Â
If I was the reporter, I would have changed the title of the article to "DREADLOCK HEADLOCK!"
I just think that dreadlocks are kind of ... gross. I think they look cool, and on some people it can be very attractive, but, oh man, just gross. To be CHOCKED by someone's dreadlocks?
Â
Super gross!!!
This will make the late night TV Bantor for sure! Lots of joke potential
Assault with dangerous hair. I guess that's why they call them dreadlocks. By the looks of him, check his feet...they might have caught Sasquatch.

Spay and neuter, there is no need to have a litter out of those two.
Since when do we choose dreadlocks over a good pair of hands? Clearly, not an entire brain is shared between the two of them.
Ban these dreadlocks! They are out of control! No Dreadlock Safety!
 @Erxkeel Thanks for choosing such a colorful avatar! Sames goes for PrairieDawn, below. That makes it all the much to skip over your one-track-mind and off-topic comments.
Â
But since you you guys brought it up: US 2011 gun deaths: over 11,500. UK 2011 gun deaths: 35. less than a third of a percent. Seems gunbans do work somehow.
Â
@DrugFighter @Erxkeel In the UK, you are a subject. We in the United States are not subjects, ... yet..
 @DrugFighter  @Erxkeel Since you went there,
Â
How many of those numbers are suicide by gun? What does the UK do about it's mentally ill?
Â
These simple numbers are just not enough to make a claim one way or the other.
gross
For all those anti-gun folks out there, maybe we should start banning styles of hair since it's being used as a weapon as well.Â
 @PrairieDawn see above.
 @DrugFighter  @PrairieDawn Same to you.
there's this cool concept called logic. check into it.
eeeewww... gag me w/ a pitchfork.
Good news is that the story doesn't seem to mention any progeny from Mr.GQ and the Little Lady.
Oh... and bonus points for the name of "Caleb Grotberg."
I like his marshall star earring..
The dream of the 90's is alive in Portland! The tattoo ink never runs dry! The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland! All the hot girls wear glasses...yeah! The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland! Sleep âtil 11, youâll be in heaven. The dream of the 90s is alive in Portland! My flannel shirt still looks fly!

Chances are they'll sentence him to 5 years plus a complete shaving, unless if they just hang him with his hair! As Wolfen said, he already has a built in noose.
Wait 2:30 on a Monday? Didn't he have work? ; )
@yeahguy Good observation... I bet it has something to do with the dreadlocks...Â
 @yeahguy refer to Dylandawg's comment and accompanying vid...you have answer there.
 @My-celiums thus the ;) in my comment
Looks like just another urban rat. One that might have come from downtown Oly.
I do not use it often but ....LOL!!
In a related story, several guards and inmates at the Multnomah County Jail had to be treated for exposure to Patchouli. Â
Laughing would be bad, right? But it's been a long day and the headline is just so humorous! Â Hope she'l be OK and breaks up with him!
Look! He has built in rope for the noose........THIS is a convenient criminal :)
That is one nasty looking dude.
That's gotta be a biologically hazardous assault.Â
I think you have to be from Oregon to look like that.
 @Ankle Biter Have you been to Pioneer Square lately??? But I have to wonder where the fashion sense is with the look. All I can think when I see dreadlocks is poor hygiene, that is probably wrong, so go ahead and slam me, but it is sooooo not on my list of turn ons.......
I really shouldn't laugh...
Â
But she must realize that hair can be pulled out, even if it's matted..
I think she's full of crap.Â
looks like a Jesus impersonator, but does not act that way... unfortunately. Hope the women gets over it all right. Â
 @Komo Dragon I think he has lice...shave it all off.
