This is a nice, all-American throwback crime that sounds like it happened in 1840s Iowa, not today. 53-year-old Tyrone Gardner of Ludington, Michigan was grilling some chicken a few years ago, and walked away for a few minutes. When he got back, one of the pieces of chicken was MISSING.
Tyrone was pretty sure his neighbor had stolen it, so he grabbed his PITCHFORK, went over to the guy’s house, and STABBED him with it. The guy was hurt, but he survived.
Tyrone got the hell out of town, and the cops FINALLY found him and arrested him back in October. He pleaded guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon.
He was sentenced to one year in jail last week.
(Here’s his mugshot.)
