No made-up story is ever as good as real life.
Man in critical condition after being stabbed with deer antler
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — A Columbus, Georgia, man was in critical condition after being stabbed with a deer antler during a fight.
Columbus police responding to the incident Monday night found a man lying in the road and another man sitting nearby. Police say 55-year-old Terry Moore had a stab wound to his left ribs and a head wound. He was rushed to The Medical Center in Columbus.
According to authorities, witnesses said the man sitting with Moore, 47-year-old Eugene Ellington, stabbed him with a deer antler and struck him with the rim of a bicycle tire. Ellington was arrested and has been charged with aggravated assault.
Police say the two men were acquaintances who argued before the fight because Moore refused to stop calling Ellington a name with an expletive.
Ellington denied that the deer antler was his.
Well, he's technically right--he's not a deer and so he couldn't possibly have grown a deer antler. Still, I'm not sure that's a winning legal gambit in this instance.And finally--
The west Georgia city is located near the Alabama line.
A little too near. Posted by Terry Oglesby at June 7, 2007 10:17 AM
