Shotgun-Wielding Man Tasered During Feud Over Manure

by Caleb Johnson on September 15, 2009 at 05:28 PM

To paraphrase Robert Duvall in 'Apocalypse Now,' there's nothing like the smell of manure and live ammunition in the morning. (Or, something like that.) In this case, it was a Saturday morning in Michigan. Casey and Tina Jahn were busy spreading manure and lime across their fields in Huron Township this weekend when an unidentified neighbor stormed out to the fence line with his shotgun in hand, according to The Saginaw News. The neighbors were already feuding (Yes, folks feud north of the Mason-Dixon line, too.) over the placement of the manure and lime. Apparently, the 45-year-old man had had enough, so he fired his shotgun into the air and pointed it at the Jahns, who were riding on their tractor at the time.

Of course, the Jahns called police, who attempted to arrest the man. However, the suspect resisted, and police shocked him with a stun gun, probably leading him to emit some bad smells of his own. The man is currently awaiting arraignment at the county jail, and is probably wishing he would've just moved upwind from his neighbors' farm. [From: The Saginaw News]
