Police Say Man Hit Brother With Lawn Gnome During Fight

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Police say a 26-year-old Port St. Lucie man was arrested after hitting his brother with a garden gnome and a ladder during a fight.

Police reports show Johnathon Gesell and his brother, James, began arguing Tuesday before Johnathon hit James in the back with the garden gnome.

Johnathon Gesell then allegedly punched his brother's girlfriend in the face and smashed part of the rear tail light and quarter panel on his brother's truck with a baseball bat. He also allegedly hit his brother in the side with a ladder.

Johnathon Gesell faces charges including aggravated assault, criminal mischief and two counts of aggravated battery.

I know this isn't a big story.... but close your eyes and think for a moment.

Visualize thie:

Johnathon FUBARed his brother's truck... and his girlfriend... then hit his brother with one of those little extra-ugly green garden gnomes.

Close your eyes... and just imagine the scene. I'm guessing the perp, his brother and the girlfriend had about 100 IQ points and 100 teeth, combined, between them!

We are talking the shallow end of the gene pool here!

I guess we won’t be getting cheap quotes on cheap hotels and travel packages anytime soon since the Gnome needs someone to bail him out of jail... lol.

Heyyyyy,, I just escaped Port St. Lucie, stop reminding me how insane they’ve become! :-)

(PS: Port St. Lucie (actually a private development called “Tesoro” w/homes starting at $2m) just paid for and finally finished installing an E-pass only turnpike exit so the West Palm Beach elite refugees can travel back and forth without ever encountering the Port St. Lucie riff raff)

St. Lucie West. (Town within a town) Major development - "Town of Tradition" 6,000 homes, bad water.

Or as my old school pals from NYC call it - Port St. Lucie. :-)
