Azazello1313 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It wasn't exactly pistols at 30 paces, but police say a private security guard and a bartender shot each other with Tasers in a "bonehead" confrontation over parking. Neither man needed medical attention, but the bartender, Harvey Epstein, was arrested on suspicion of felony menacing and using a stun gun. Police said Epstein got into an argument with security guard Casey Dane on Saturday after a metal boot was clamped on a wheel of Epstein's car to immobilize it for an alleged parking violation. It wasn't immediately clear who put the boot on Epstein's car. Police Sgt. Pat Wyton said Epstein left, then returned with bolt cutters and tried to remove the boot. Dane warned Epstein he would shoot him with a Taser if he didn't stop, and Epstein pulled his own Taser from his pocket, Wyton said. "They shot each other," he said. "It was just kind of a bonehead deal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I saw a snippet of this from the local news last night. Apparently, the security guard identified himself as a cop repeatedly, and Epstein only tased the security guard when the guard was pointing his taser at Epstein's elderly mother. After the tasing, the security guard pulled a real gun, held it to Epsteins head and threatened him on the ground until the cops arrived. Something must be missing from that story, because the guard was sent on his way and Epstein was arrested. Fascinating local drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
