A Wis. man, Peter W. Mischler, 48, came home on a Saturday after he’d been out hunting. He was upset with his 22 year old daughter, who was talking on the phone with her mother at the time, as she had let the goats out and they’d made a mess.
While the daughter was still on the phone the man told his daughter to ask her mother to bring home some beer but the wife refused.
Angrily he threatened to shoot the goats if she didn’t bring home beer.
She didn’t bring any beer home and shortly after she arrived back at the house the mother and daughter heard four gunshots outside. They went outside and found one of their two goats with it’s entrails hanging out.
Mischler was charged in Circuit Court with mistreatment of animals, possession of a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct with a dangerous weapon.
The poor injured goat was shot by a deputy to put it out of it’s misery.
Mischler posted $1000 cash bond and was released. No word on whether he returned home to his wife and daughter.
Sheriffs deputies mistook an exploding cigarette lighter for gunfire and dove to the ground, called in reinforcements and shut down a neighborhood for hours!
“We have a lot of unusual things happen in our business, and we expected the unexpected. It’s better to be safe than sorry,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Craton said.
The lighter in question belonged to one of the two people that had been stopped around noon for loitering and drinking alcohol in Zappopan Park. While the two were being questioned the lighter was placed on the hood of a police car. When the lighter exploded shrapnel went everywhere and the two deputies and two suspects went down to the ground when they thought they were being fired upon.
Reinforcements were called in and the neighborhood was locked down for two hours. Deputies clutching shotguns and pistols leaned on squad cars and a command post went up at a nearby Wal-Mart Supercenter parking lot.
Paramedics and dozens of deputies were on hand as helicopters buzzed the area. Two hours later, a special enforcement officer discovered the culprit - the Bic lighter.
Eric Cunningham, 18, or Orlando Florida isn’t the brightest criminal on the planet. He was arrest and charged with robbing a Hess gas station at gun point in Orlando in April.
He got caught because he forgot to take his gun case with him when he fled the store. Inside the gun case was a receipt for his gun with his name listed on it.
Then we have yet another winner for the dumbest criminal awards … Jazrahel King, 29, was arrested in April in Norwalk Conn. when he tried to trade in the jeep that he’d allegedly stolen from the same Wholesalers of America dealership that he’d appropriated the vehicle from in the first place. He was trying to trade the jeep in for a larger vehicle.
Jazrahel King hadn’t even taken a moment to think about the fact that the dealership would have the cars vin number on record, or the fact that the jeep still had the dealerships temporary plates on it.
A Port St. Lucie Florida woman has been held on a gun charge after she claimed that she accidently shot her husband in the head after being startled by the burglar alarm.
April Moylan, 39 years of age, was charged on Wednesday with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and has been ordered held on a $75,000 bond.
Sheriff Ken mascara stated on Wednesday that the attorney’s office is going over the facts of the case and additional charges could be laid in the future.
Now here’s where the story takes a strange turn:
April’s husband, Michael Eugene Moylan, 45, awoke early Tuesday morning with a severe headache. The couple went to the hospital where the bullet was discovered in Moylan’s head.
It was first thought that Moylan might have been the victim of a stray bullet but it was later discovered that the couples stories didn’t match up.
The couple finally fessed up and told authorities that April sleeps with a loaded .32 caliber gun under her pillow. When the burglar alarm sounded at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning she grabbed the gun and it accidentally discharged a bullet into her husbands head just behind his ear.
The couple hadn’t wanted to tell the truth because they are both convicted felons and as a result are not allowed to own a gun so they came up with the headache story.
April was previously convicted for sale and delivery of cocaine in Palm Beach County. At this time her husband Michaels criminal record is not available.
Michael Moylan’s head wound was not considered life threatening. He’s recovering in the hospital.
It seems that Michael is a lucky man! I wonder what other charges the couple might face when the investigate concludes?
