PUNTA GORDA — A 35-year-old man was arrested Monday morning after he allegedly became upset over points in his Fantasy Football league and threatened to kill his roommate.

 

According to a report from the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, Chester Marcial "Chet" Ward, of the 4500 block of Duncan Road in Punta Gorda, allegedly sliced pages in the book his roommate was reading before holding a knife to his roommate's neck and threatening to kill him.

 

The report stated the roommate, who "was in fear of his life," went to a neighbor's home and called 911.

 

When deputies arrived, Ward admitted to being upset over points from his fantasy football league and that he asked his roommate to move out of the residence. Because the roommate was ignoring him, Ward told the deputies that he pulled out his knife and cut the book as a joke.

 

While Ward said he never threatened to kill his roommate, authorities arrested him on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

 

The report stated Ward resisted arrest and even struck an officer's hands before running across Duncan Road to escape arrest. As he ran away from the residence, Ward was Tasered by another deputy, and was then handcuffed.

 

Additional charges of battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence were added to Ward's arrest. He is being held without bond at the Charlotte County Jail.

Look at the bright side, if this is a dynasty league the guy might be open to some trade offers. Also, wonder if he can get WiFi at the county jail? Waiver wire could be a problem for this, particularly with byes looming.
