A fight over who gets to drink the "good beer" led to the arrest of a former Ku Klux Klan leader and his son in rural east Osceola County, the Sheriff's Office said.

Troy Hixon, 45, his girlfriend, another woman and his father, George Hixon, 73, were drinking Wednesday night when Troy Hixon threw his girlfriend down and began shooting into the ground near her, a sheriff's report states.

George Hixon served time in federal prison in the late 1980s for possessing an unregistered machine gun. When drug agents searched his home at the time, they found evidence that he was a leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Osceola County, they said at the time.

Troy Hixon's girlfriend, whose name was not released, told deputies that an argument began after she complained that she was forced to drink cheap beer while the men drank "good beer" — Budweiser, according to the report. She also said someone poured beer on her while she was on the ground, and she heard a can crumple.

Well.. who paid for it?

[humblegunner]

It ain’t Huffman but the cast and plot seem familiar...

I think I know the younger. The face and name are familiar. I grew up in Central Florida.

Wow. If Bud was the good beer, then what was the cheap beer?

The KKK was the terrorist arm of the Democrat party after the civil war. Look it up

“Troy Hixon threw his girlfriend down and began shooting into the ground near her,”

Not sure if that is male/female/shemale or whatev.

Pinging the expert.

Come on y'all, there is only one beer for inbred, hillbilly klansmen.

Good grief. I have a ‘fridge fill of Tetley’s, Boddington’s and Shlenkerla Rauchbier.

I’m willing to bet a shiny nickel that actual ‘good beer’ would be utterly wasted on these fine folks.

Hixon's girlfriend, .... she complained that she was forced to drink cheap beer while the men drank "good beer"..

Bitter beer anyone?
