GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Two siblings in South Carolina were arrested and charged with assault after insults over unseasoned chicken turned into a brawl involving Raid bug spray, a gun and a knife.
Deputies were called to a home in Georgetown County on Sunday night about an assault in progress, according to a Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office report.
When Deputy Kyle Burns and Corporal Simpson arrived, they were told the situation began when Anthony Harper was asked by his sister Hope Harper “why he didn’t season the chicken that was cooking so it could crust up,” the report said.
Anthony Harper then told his sister he believed their grandmother would season it, after which Hope Harper called him “a dumb dog,” according to the report. Police said Anthony Harper then shoved his sister into a table and punched her about five times.
The two continued to fight — alongside another victim, according to the report — until someone else in the home came into the room and fired a 9mm handgun into the ceiling. Hope Harper then went into the kitchen and grabbed a steak knife, at which point Anthony Harper, fearing for his life, ran to his grandmother’s door, the report states.
Hope Harper started swinging the knife toward her brother, but their grandmother came out of her room, grabbed a broom and started swatting Hope Harper until she walked away.
Anthony Harper then grabbed a can of Raid bug spray and sprayed Hope Harper on the face and neck. Hope Harper took the can away and sprayed him back.
Deputies said both Anthony and Hope Harper chose to press charges against the other. The two were arrested and booked into the Georgetown County Detention Center. Anthony Harper was booked on two charges of assault and battery — one in the third degree and one in the second. Hope Harper faces a charge of assault and battery in the third degree.
Both Anthony and Hope Harper were released on bond, according to the report.
Needed a one-eyed alligator, souped up stock car and some dynamite! Just some good old boys Meaning no harm. Beats all you ever saw.......
I suspect the chicken wound up with bug spray seasoning .
Spraying bug spray may have been the smartest thing they did.
or an opera.....Il pollo è insipido
Like movies with a track for director’s comments this one could have “Dumb dog” triggered him to say “I may be a dog but I ain’t a dumb dog.”
And “Raid was used because the woman knew it was the best brand to get rid of a pest, like her.”
Swinging the broom was like two scenes.
Friendly Persuasion with Gary Cooper where Dorothy McGuire despite being a nonviolent Quaker hits the thugs repeatedly with a broom when they could have decided on a whim to rape and kill her and her family.
And The Owl and the Pussycat with Barbra Streisand and George Segal where Segal is dressed as a Halloween skeleton to please Streisand, and people in the hall panic. Old woman says of her husband holding a broom menacingly: “He’s got a broom and he’s not afraid to use it.”
Noone’s middle name was Wayne??
Note:
Not Florida.....
Oh, for God’s Sake...
You could watch a five minute video on youtube and figure out how to make fried chicken. You wouldn’t even need to know how to marinate in buttermilk or pickle brine.
Look, I’m a man who takes food SERIOUSLY! I once broke a whisky bottle over my brother’s head when he ate all the chocolate out of the Neapolitan ice cream.
In my experience, food is the number two cause of all police involved domestic violence occurrences (well behind the number one of me not picking up my socks off the bedroom floor).
(Undicussed) In the middle of their flap over chicken wings, somebody walked into the room and fired a gun into the ceiling! How many bullet holes are in that dining room ceiling from prior arguments? It didn’t stop the fighting though.
My word, and they seemed to be such nice people too… 🤪🤪
LOL. Opéra bouffe.
That’s usually the overture. :)
What a frolicking, good-time, fun-loving family!
Sheesh, why didn’t our family have such good times?
Them be white trash. Same culture as the urban ghetto.
Opera Bouffe eh?....ok well switching to French....Le poulet est fade
>> It’s not them, BooBoo!
Of course not! “They” KNOW how to fry chicken! :-)
That... thing looks like an open sore.
>> I like action stories. Would have been good in a movie, at least the types at my intellectual level.
LOL! “Home Alone In The Trailer Park With My Sister/Girlfriend: 4”!
