Pair accused of assault over Wii Christmas gift

[January 13, 2009]  PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) -- A couple accused of assaulting each other over an unappreciated Christmas gift have been ordered to stay away from each other.

Randi Young, 24, and Heath Blom, 26, were arrested on Christmas day. Police said the pair argued after Blom complained about getting a Wii game system from Young instead of the remote control airplane he asked for. When Young started to leave, Blom allegedly grabbed her by the hair and she turned around and hit him,

In court Monday, Young asked that the no-contact order be lifted, saying they just had a bad Christmas. But the judge denied the request.
