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.
