Man tried to impress woman by 'playing Rambo'
Must be "Ancient Weapons in the News" week...A few weeks late for Valentine's Day, a Burnsville man faces charges he tried to impress a female companion by "playing Rambo" and shooting arrows at neighboring residences in his townhome complex with a powerful bow. Here. Hold Rambo's beer, baby! On Saturday, Burnsville police found arrows in the siding of more than one townhome along River Woods Lane, according to charges. Another arrow had gone through a patio door, shattering the glass. Ha! I hit the building! I can't be that shitfaced! Neighbors quickly pointed police to the likely Cupid. Rambo? Up in 3B. Okay, thanks... A criminal complaint filed against Kyle Kenneth Fletcher, 30, by the Dakota County Attorney's office alleges that he appeared "extremely intoxicated" when questioned by police, as did his female friend. I knew it! "She told officers that she and Fletcher had been drinking all night and that Fletcher grabbed his bow and arrow and walked out onto the deck," reads the complaint. "She said she thought Fletcher wanted to 'play Rambo.' " Ooooooh, baby! Ya makin me sooooo hot! Questioned by police, Fletcher initially denied being the culprit, although police found arrows on his floor and a compound bow on his deck, according to charges. Those yours? I been framed! You planted them there, ya lousy bastid cops! He later "admitted that he did so for '(expletive) and giggles.'" ...and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Can I go now? A compound bow uses pulleys and cables to bend the bow limbs, storing energy before releasing each arrow. From the way the arrows were embedded in the siding, the complaint states "it was obvious that had one of the arrows come into contact with a person, it could have caused serious bodily injury or death." Fletcher was charged Wednesday with first-degree criminal damage to property, a felony. Will ya wait for me, baby?! Posted by: tu3031 2009-04-09 |
