DENTON, Texas - Denton police arrested a 68-year-old man for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a video shows him confronting a tenant with a gun.

When FOX 4 spoke to the landlord, he did not deny his role in the confrontation.

Cell phone video shows the intense Sept. 9 encounter between 27-year-old UNT grad student Mohammed Alzahrani and his 68-year-old landlord, Phillip Young

Young told FOX 4 he had a verbal agreement with Alzahrani that he wouldn’t use the kitchen in exchange for cheaper rent.

"So all of a sudden after two weeks, he decides he’s going to cook eggs," Young said.

I don't know why, but this seems more of a domestic dispute. than a landlord/tenant dispute.

"So all of a sudden after two weeks, he decides he’s going to cook eggs," Young said.

I've heard of a lot of landlord/tenant disputes, but this is a first for me.

[Larry Lucido]

So basically, he shot him for poaching?

There is a lot more to the story.

[Larry Lucido]

Nah, it’s a clear case of egg white supremacy.

Police are scrambling to determine a motive.

You think this is some kind of a yoke.

"Briefly, this fleeting thought that maybe I just should shoot him goes through my mind, and I wrote that in an email message to a detective," he said. "And they left out all of the explanation, and that is that I very quickly and easily resisted that temptation."

Well, that was smart.

The police will assign an old school, hard-boiled detective (like Stacy Quiche’s Mike Hammer) to the case and the perp will be walking on egg shells until the case is cracked.

In typical Hollywood fashion, they are remaking the classic war movie “The Dirty Dozen” as a kitchen dispute. I’m sure it will be panned on every movie site.

[Robert DeLong]

I didn’t see any mention of shots even being fired. Just the brandishing of the firearm.

[LouAvul]

The jokes just write themselves.

[ansel12]

Well done.

[Qwapisking]

There WILL be a lot of cracks if it’s made. At least a dozen.
