Sheriff: Deer carcass prompts man to brandish gun, threaten hunter » Evansville Courier & Press

An Evansville man was arrested on an intimidation charge for allegedly threatening a man after getting upset over a deer carcass in his truck, according to a Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office probable cause affidavit.
Raymond E. Myers, 62, was booked into the Vanderburgh County Jail Sunday night. He has since been released on a $1,500 cash bond, officials said.
It happened about 10:15 p.m. when Brian Rice and his two teenage sons stopped at Huck's, 3951 N. Green River Road. One of the sons had shot a deer that night and the carcass was loaded in the back of their truck.
Rice told police Myers walked over as he and his sons were at the rear of the truck, looked at the deer and said "If you want to kill something, kill me."
According to the affidavit, Myers then went back to his car, pulled out a gun in a holster and threatened to kill Rice. Deputies say a woman who was with him shoved his hand back into the trunk, at which point he dropped the gun there.
Myers had a strong smell of alcohol on his breath and was captured on video surveillance drinking alcohol while sitting in his vehicle, the affidavit states. Myers also reportedly has a felony conviction for criminal recklessness that prohibits him from possessing a handgun.
He is facing preliminary charges of intimidation with a weapon, public intoxication, carrying a handgun without a license and carrying a weapon as a felon.

Why does that noy suprise me at a Hucks

 

[redneckmedic]

Stupid City Boy. Clearly the fella (son) can shoot as he has the evidence. Why challange the issue.

Shouldn't bail cost more than a nice custom pistol? Just a thought.

I am actually surprised that a newspaper let it be known that the perp here was not legally allowed to own a handgun. That is the kind of thing most papers expediently forget to print so the general public will think that all gun owners are like this jerk.

Kudos to the paper for printing the full story!

The man who pulled the gun on people over shooting a deer is insane. Deer are food and need to be thinned, he must have been a vegetarian...silly crazy vegetarian.

Isn't 1,500 bond posted for the 15,000 bail? or do I have it the other way around and the bond was 1,500 which would have made bail 150?

I think you are giving this moron too much credit; I bet he eats McDonalds all the time, just doesn't think about what he's eating.
