Who hasn’t woken up after a night of partying with your hair shaved, or permanent marker drawings left on your skin? Perhaps you’ve even woken up covered in syrup and oatmeal? Did you get mad? Yeah maybe, but enough to pull a gun on the trickster?
A 20-year-old man in Wisconsin who awoke after a party to find himself covered in syrup and dry oatmeal is now facing a criminal charge after authorities say he turned a gun on the man who pulled the prank.
Witnesses told police they were just trying to “get even†with the La Crosse man for pranks he had pulled in the past few days, according to a criminal complaint.
But the man “freaked out,†emerging from a bedroom Friday with a .22 caliber bolt-action rifle, the complaint said. One man tackled him after having the gun pointed at his head, the complaint said.
The man was charged with second-degree recklessly endangering safety while armed. He’s on probation for carrying a concealed .25 caliber handgun, according to the complaint.
Note to all- if you are going to pull pranks of sleeping drunks PLEASE lock the guns away! Some drunks are nasty when they wake up. 🙂
