A New York man left his grandmother blind when he gouged out the 78-year-old's eyes last month during a fight about an overdraft on her debit card, officials said Wednesday. Michael Grief, 30, was arrested and charged with three counts of violent assault following the Feb. 19 incident at his home in Sayville. Grief and his grandmother, Sheila Grief, got into an argument after the 30-year-old overdrew her debit card by $1,000, ABC7NY reported. "There, Mr. Grief, using his thumbs, gouged his grandmother's eyes one at a time with such force that the globes of her eyes ruptured, both of them,” Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said. Grief shrugged and responded, “so,” when officials told him what he had done to his grandmother, prosecutors said.
