ROGERS COUNTY, Oklahoma - Rogers County Sheriff's Department arrested three people in what appears to be an accidental shooting. One of the men told deputies he'd shot his friend while the two were on a Sasquatch hunting expedition. The two men were hunting - apparently for Bigfoot - around 177th East Avenue and Tiger Switch Road Saturday night. Omar Pineda reportedly heard a "barking noise," jerked and shot his friend in the back, authorities say.
"When you start off with an explanation like that, do you believe anything after that?" Sheriff Walton said Sunday morning.
The men met emergency responders at a QuikTrip near Interstate 44 and 161st Street. The wounded man is expected to survive.
Pineda, 21, was arrested for reckless conduct with a firearm and obstruction.
Deputies also arrested Perry Don James, Pineda's father-in-law. James threw his son-in-law's gun in a pond on the property because he is a convicted felon and was afraid to have the gun on his property, the Sheriff said.
James, 53, was booked on complaints of felon in possession of a firearm and destruction of evidence.
The shooting victim was also carrying a gun, though he dropped it when he got shot, according to a news release. That gun has been recovered.

Dangerous foe he is.
Exactly. This is in my neck of the woods and I would say deer poaching gone bad. They seem to be harmless folks that got caught and told a silly story. Thankfully no one died. But everyone is having a good chuckle over the story.
They was just goin’ out foir some “Carry Okie”.
I can just imagine the Sheriff with a chaw of tobacco in his mouth saying that.
Will Kook to Kook AM have a special segment on this tonight?
Well, did they bag any Sasquatches/Sasquatchi?
“I’ll get that - hiccup - sasquatch....”
That is the kind of headline... oh never mind
I am really curious as to how Sheriff Walton and his deputies were able to keep straight faces during the arrest and if they did, they all deserve a medal.
How much 3.2 beer do ya have to pour down yer gullet to get that drunk ?
I’ll bet the nearby Sasquatches were laughing their asses off after witnessing the whole thing go down.
” The two men were hunting - apparently for Bigfoot - around 177th East Avenue and Tiger Switch Road”
Yeah. Everybody knows that sasquatch often hangs out on that corner.
Is there even a Bigfoot hunting license available? Can out of state residents get one? Is there a guide service available for this?
Are you sure it wasn't some ones mother in law?
To bad the guy missed and shot his friend. Them Sasquatch is good eatin’.
Rural areas were 'endowed' with addresses for the purposes of 911 emergency responses. You can be at 49th Ave and 115th Street in North Dakota (not a building in sight) for instance. It is just part of the address grid reference, but does not imply any population density. The higher the numbers, the less likely you are anywhere near a town.
