A bucket of flooring adhesive was used as a booby trap by Alex Pruitt against Alice Ribbons.
As Alice reaches the backyard gate on the south side of the Pruitt house, she fumbled about with the gate but realized that it was locked. In frustration, she reached her hand over the gate to unlock it from the other end, but instead stuck her hand into the adhesive, which was hanging from the knob. This caught her off guard, and she tried to pull out her hand from the sticky trap. After a short struggle, she managed to remove her hand from the bucket, sacrificing her mitten in the process.[1]
Realizing that she can no longer open the gate normally, she opts to climb over it and jump, landing instead up to her calves in mud and getting knocked out by flower pots.[1]
