MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (HLN) - A Memphis woman was arrested and charged with first-degree murder after she bludgeoned her boyfriend to death with an iPod.

Arleen Mathers, 23, was arrested Thursday morning after she called Memphis Police and said she had killed her boyfriend, according to a Sheriff’s Department report.

When deputies arrived at Mathers’ apartment at 528 Poplar Avenue, Mathers led them to the body of her boyfriend, Brad Pulaski, 27.

Brad Pulaski had died of blunt trauma to the head after being repeatedly bludgeoned with an iPod, a popular MP3 player produced by Apple.

Police said no motive has been confirmed, although evidence suggested the murder was the result of a domestic dispute after Pulaski erased the contents of Mathers’ iPod.

According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection.

An autopsy performed Friday afternoon at Methodist Hospital showed that Brad Pulaski had been beat multiple times in the face and chest by a blunt metal object, and died of internal bleeding, said Dr. Felix Klamut, deputy coroner.

According to Apple’s website, the iPod is partially made of a hard metal plate that’s been praised for it’s resistance to regular wear and tear, like drops and coffee spills.

“It took him a while to die,” Dr. Klamut said. “She must have stabbed him 40 to 80 times with that iPod. His death was not instantaneous, that’s for sure”

Arleen Mathers was arraigned Friday night by a video hookup from the county jail. Municipal Court Judge Simon Lambert set her bond at $600,000 and scheduled a preliminary hearing for March 9.

darn notice that in the title it missed the word ipod?

Even so bordfryr, 1 shot to the head with an iPod isn't gonna knock you out..I'm with IP on this, after the first few shots, I'd slap a cobra clutch on her or something...

Though it does make you wonder about the girls in Memphis. MGiff, remind me not to get on your bad side...

2000 Britney Spears songs

She has that many songs out?

Ipod...a million and TWO uses.

Nah, not in Memphis!

Wow...I never realized an iPod was so tough.  Does it still work?  If so, Apple should use it as publicity

I too wonder how she killed him without any fight.  Man, how weak was that guy? 

But, it does prove a valuable lesson- don't mess with your significant other's tunes!

mmmm, actually if you hit someone with a spinning back fist in the temple you will put their lights out or kill them by compression and skull fragments driven into the brain along with ensuing hemorrhage. So I can see where taking an iPod in the temple could do it in one or two shots or at least set him up so he could not defend himself in the least.

That is one Wacko Female, reading that reminded me of my Mumster

I meant that maybe that was why he decided to delete the music at that time.

Well folks, on the subject of unusual weapons, tonight on the news they reported a couple got into an argument, and the guy went and grabbed his 3 foot long alligator from the bathroom and slapped the woman with it! He then proceeded to fling beer bottles at her as she took off!
