Accused burglar found dead, tied to tree in Alabama
2016-08-01
LEROY, AL. -- An Alabama homeowner is being questioned, after an accused burglar is found dead and tied to a tree.
When Nate sez 'shut up' you shut up damn it !
Deputies say 68-year-old Nathaniel Johnson caught the suspect breaking in, so he tackled him and tied him to the tree. Johnson told the Washington County Sheriff's Office he used electrical wires to tie up 31-year-old Cleveland Gulley.

According to WKRG-TV, Gulley would not stop talking, so Johnson put duct tape over his mouth and went to his neighbor to get help.

When investigators arrived about 15 minutes later, Gulley was dead. That's when he said he went to go to a neighbor's and call for help.

When deputies arrived, the accused thief was dead.

#9  No casserole! It's blasphemy! Greens, hand washed with ham hock seasoning and lots of pepper sauce on the side, maybe some chopped onions too.

I am aghast at you DB, casserole? WTF? Are you ailing?

#8  Hey, its the south. He didn't abuse any of those umpteen publicly displayed crosses to 'nail'im down'. I defer to Mr. Comey's description of intent.

#5  If charges are brought against Mr. Johnson, I strongly recommend a jury trial, lots of sweet tea, fried chicken, and greens on the courthouse lawn. Should be a splendid turn out, and speedy acquittal.

#3  So a 68 year old beat up a 31 year old? And tied him to a tree? After going to get trussing material?
