WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
Some neighborhood arguments get more out of hand than others. The spat in New Port Richey, Florida over the weekend resulted in bloodshed. One man needed six staples to close a wound on the back of his head and another man got locked up once deputies from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office arrived. 51-year-old Gerald Lee Thornton Jr. is charged with aggravated battery after attacking neighbors with a frying pan and a lamp pole, deputies told the Bradenton Herald. His arrest record indicates he’s being held at the Land O’Lakes Jail on a $10,000 bond. Deputies said one neighbor told them Thornton chased him with a frying pan, eventually catching up and striking him in the left side with it. That man managed to wrestle the cookware away, and even landed enough punches to the suspect’s head to knock him down. Investigators said when Thornton got back up, he used a lamp pole to open a gash on the back of another neighbor’s head. (https://bit.ly/2Vehldr)

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by FunkyMonkeyShirts.com

Authorities say a Florida man ignited a homemade pipe bomb that flew into his neighbor's yard and shared a video of the outcome on Facebook. The Volusia County Sheriff's Office said in a Sunday news release 25-year-old Christopher Green is facing a charge of making a destructive device. Nobody was injured but houses in the Orange City, Florida neighborhood were evacuated. Green told deputies he used stump remover mixed with sugar to make smoke bombs. He posted the Facebook video before the arrest, writing he didn't expect that thrust. The neighbor heard a loud hissing noise when she saw the metal pipe flying into her yard Saturday. Green later wrote on Facebook “I went to jail for this. Could be facing up to 10 years. Hope they take it easy.”
