This story is not new, but just came to my attention. Hey, this is a big country, people behaving badly around the clock, so it's hard to always get your news 'fresh and hot'. So there's this guy in Utah, a Timothy John Brewer, a 33 years old Sheriff Deputy at the time. Tim spent some evening time sitting around with the family, his wife, Logan Rae, and his Dad, Wesley (Corky) Brewer, who was a Fire Chief.
The family was having after dinner drinks when Logan Brewer announced she was going to put one of the couple's children to bed. Tim realized something was amiss when the child his wife was putting to bed came downstairs with a very odd expression on his face.
Tim told police he approached the child's bedroom door only to find it locked, but managed to get the door open. He then discovered his father and his wife on the child's bed having sex together. Tim says at that point, he 'just lost it'. Tim assaulted his father, left the room, then returned with a gun. He backhanded his wife and pointed his pistol in her face. Logan Brewer then ran out of the house to her parents home. Tim pistol-whipped his Dad, who ran to his home looking for his own gun with the intention of shooting himself. Wesley's wife hid his gun, so in the chaos of the moment, Wesley grabbed a knife and stabbed himself twice, piercing his lung and liver. Wesley was then rushed to the nearby hospital for emergency care.
Police were called to the hospital because Tim was attempting to force his way past his Uncle, also a sheriff's deputy, so that he could confront his father and 'finish the job'. Tim is believed to have still been drunk at the time. Timothy was arrested and charged with attempted homicide, and assaulting a police officer, plus child endangerment.
Charges were reduced to assault against an officer, which could get him two years in prison. Both Brewers have since quit their jobs as officers of the law. Logan is not pressing charges against Tim for frightening her by pointing that gun in her face. This sounds like something from Shakespere with names and locations changed to reflect the times.
Too bad that Tim was so drunk he couldn’t think straight. He could have just offered his gun to his Dad to finish off the attempted suicide.
Here are a few links. Keep in mind, this happened July 12th of this year, a while ago. Links include “The Daily Mail” from England, EveryJoe.com, and DeserestNews.com.
Where at? In the humble hilly hamlet known as Moab, Utah.
“I can understand this set-up when one lives in a “holler” in West Virginia”
That’s a hell of a thing to say.
Dad had it cummin...
You have, perhaps inadvertently, used that term in a most nifty and clever way.
Oh I knew someone was going to rag on me for that. Just that everyone lives so close to each other that they “ran” to their house, their mom’s house, etc. I rented a room on a farm in New Jersey and it was the same way. (Family living in the house’s on either side and across the road - not dad screwing the daughter-in-law. At least that I know of!)
Ah the old demon drink - certainly lowers inhibitions when imbibing too much! I always thank God that I have an internal switch that tells me to stop or slow down after a couple of drinks! Many people don’t seem to.

OH!! Oh Vendome, that was baaaaaaad. Funny! but baaad.
Dude’s a D ick.
My Mom’s husband came on to my girlfriend when I was 16. She begged me not to break him in half and used her whiles to convince me I shouldn’t.
I had already busted him up after he tried to stuff my little brother.
I hate violence but, there are times I condone it.
To this day my mom talks about how I broke the couch I bent him over on.
She says I did the right thing.
I dunno. I still don’t like that I was forced into it.
But, no one messed with my brother and these days he’s tougher than me.
Thankfully, my Dad would never, ever do something like this A-hole did.
Everything I learned in life about being a man, I learned from him and I try to remind him of moments he has long forgotten but, are indelible and instructive moments in my life, that he taught me.
How are you?
Things okay?
Hope that life is more than okay and more along the lines of great.
If you are coming out this way, PM me so I can be sure to have dinner with you and Nully.
Now that I that I think of it....Odd wording...
LOL
OK, you are forgiven. :-)
Picture of the happy couple. Wife might have got feed up with Husbands donut only diet.

Are you sure? I thought the story said that they were interrupted. Regardless, the father certainly had it in for his son.
