DMD Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I bet he likes to use message boards too... Upset fantasy football player arrested for allegedly threatening to kill roommateCharlotte Sun-Herald reports Originally published 4:12 p.m., Monday, September 29, 2008 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.

rocknrobn26 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hope your liabilitypremiums are up to date, David! I could see at least 50 huddlers going "POSTAL" and draging your butt into court 'cause you didn't foresee Lamont Jordan getting 30+ points!

satelliteoflovegm Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Did the cops resolve the points dispute. I bet it was fumble recoveries...He shouldn't get arrested AND screwed on points. How about the other owners are the grand jury, but the commish still has veto powers. DMD called as an expert witness. Anybody named "Chet" is trouble Edited October 4, 2008 by satelliteoflovegm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 How about the other owners are the grand jury, but the commish still has veto powers. Well, it should be a jury of his peers. As long as they can't prove collusion, he should probably be set free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 there are actually at least a couple of Huddle members who are incarcerated because they have sent me emails. Not sure how they are using a computer but fantasy football is a nice way to use up lots of free time. When we had our magazine, we had someone's wife really disappointed because her husband was in the pen and he really enjoyed reading our mag.
