Grandfather Arrested After Accidentally Shooting Grandson While Officiating Wedding

A 62-year-old grandfather was arrested after officiating a wedding in Nebraska.

According to a report, Michael Gardner thought it would be fun to get everyone's attention by shooting a gun into the air during the service.

Unfortunately when he raised the gun, it slipped in his hand, and he shot his grandson in the shoulder. The round was a blank, but Gardner had put black powder into the casing and glued it. Questions remain as to why he would have done that in the first place. Investigators believe the power and glue are what caused injury to the 12-year-old child.

The injuries were not life-threatening, and the boy was taken to a local hospital.

Gardner turned himself in to the police and was arrested on a charge of child abuse for the neglectful firing of a firearm.

This story brings a lot of questions we may never get answered. The first being, as the grandfather officiating the wedding, why are you carrying a gun? Secondly, why did it need to be fired off? Are you Elmer Fudd? Are you hunting wabbits? It seems pretty unnecessary to carry the gun and shoot it altogether. Did he think that since it was a blank it would just be cool to fire the gun in the air? If that's the case, why did he put black power in the casing and glue it? Finally, is there no common sense here at all whatsoever?

Weddings are supposed to be joyous events spent with your friends and family. In a perfect world, you have a wonderful evening with memories that will last a lifetime. You don't want the lasting memory of your big night to be a family member that shot another family member.

Moral of the story. Don't bring a gun to a wedding. Especially if you are the grandfather and you are officiating the event.

We talk A LOT about criminals and some of the dumb things they get up to on the Dave and Chuck the Freak Show.

Sometimes those criminals have a mug shot taken that needs to be memorialized and ridiculed. This post is all about the greatest mugshots we can find.

A 25-year-old Florida woman was arrested after she allegedly had beat up her own mother up after an argument and ran her over after stealing her car.

According to reports, Amber Scheuren-Rusnak allegedly got into a heated argument with her mother. No word on what the fight was about or what witnesses had seen. When police responded to the call Scheuren-Rusnak had already left the residence and beat up her mother.

Scheuren-Rusnak stole her mothers car then hit her with it before fleeing the scene. Police found her mother in rough shape and was rushed to the hospital in critical but stable condition.

She must not have felt that bad about it. She took her mugshot picture grinning widely after she was booked on charges of aggravated battery and carjacking for the rampage.

Life is better when you have goals to aspire towards. For 52-year-old Wendell Doyle Goney, of Ocala, Florida, that goal appears to be racking up felonies. Most recently, Goney was arrested after he “shot down a drone a sheriff’s office was using at a crime scene.”

After taking a plea deal on a charge of possession of a firearm as a convicted felon, Goney was able to break that magical 30-felony mark.
There’s no word on any possible celebrations around Ocala to commemorate Goney’s achievement. You can see a lot of his past mugshots here.

Prescott police arrested a woman that drove two hours to shoot her estranged husband in his bed, all because she did NOT want to get a divorce.

The woman must not have been a great shot cause the man, who is 80 years old, was shot in the wrist.  According to reports, when officers arrived the woman told them she had arrived at around midnight.  Then entered the residence and shot the man.  Not sure what the logic behind this move is, but she claimed she did it because she didn't want a divorce any more.

The man said the two argued and he said he still wants the divorce and that's when she shot him. There was a small struggle and the man pushed her down and got the gun away before going to the neighbors to call 911.

The man was rushed to the hospital before being airlifted to Phoenix for medical treatment. Our guess is that the marriage is prob still over.

Now this mugshot of the day will be skimpy on details but heavy on the scary-looking mugshot.

According to a report, Las Vegas police arrested a man in connection to a murder of a woman. 50-year-old, James Gina III, was arrested and charged with the murder of his girlfriend at their residence earlier this week. 

SWAT as well as uniformed officers responded to the house and located Gina. Officers were able to establish the two as being a couple.  Gina was booked for murder involving a deadly weapon. His mugshot is below.

The dark-rim glasses around the eyes where a nice touch don't you think?

A teenager named Zachry Bailey has been arrested again. In the past, Bailey has been in trouble for posing as a doctor and a cop...which is pretty crazy cause he looks so young.

According to reports, this time Bailey is in trouble for defrauding a car dealership in Oklahoma out of thousands of dollars. Bailey was pulling some sort of a scam that involves him selling an almost paid-off vehicle to the dealership, but the vehicles had been paid down with a fraudulent money transfer.

Bailey did this a number of times before getting caught. In addition to being in trouble for posing as a doctor and police officer, he is also in trouble for stealing jewelry from Walmart.

According to reports, in Texas, a road rage incident escalated to the point that someone felt the need to whip out the spray paint. 35-year-old David Winston was arrested on one count of felony criminal mischief as a result.

Deputies were responding to a complaint of a man “distracted by his phone and failing to maintain a single lane.”

When a red light turned green, the distracted driver didn’t get a move on, which resulted in the inevitable laying on of the horn by the complaining driver.  This reportedly “set off” Winston, who “began to throw objects” at the honking driver while both small trucks were in motion.

When both trucks stopped, the “altercation” started. Allegedly, Winston then used a can of paint to spray the honker’s face and truck, and break their back window. The spray-painted honker reportedly fired back with some paint of their own, painting Winston’s face white as payback.

It’s not clear if both drivers had a can of white spray paint on them, or if the same can was used for both paint jobs

The Cape Coral police department has arrested a teen in connection with an attempt to rob a gun store.

Wednesday morning someone smashed a hole into the window of the Cape Guns with a mallet. It only caused a hole, and they did not successfully get into the store.

Police arrived on scene in minutes and were able to track down a KIA that was seen leaving the area at high speeds. The car was seen driving in the wrong lanes of traffic.

Lee County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit helped to locate the suspect who was found along a canal bank. The driver was identified as 14-year-old Micah J. Abernethy.  Who also allegedly is the person responsible for smashing the window.

This is the mugshot of the day post so let’s see why Micah made the list!

Look at that beautiful head of hair! When arrested Abernethy had burglary tools in possession. A hammer, gloves, ski mask, and a screwdriver were all found.

To add to the charges, the Kia used to escape the crime was also stolen. Abernethy claims he did it cause he saw how easy it was to steal the Kia model online.
