A rock-throwing stranger throws a fit when arrested

An unidentified man is in Wilson County jail after having been arrested Saturday night on Interstate 95 with a pile of rocks between his legs.

Sheriff's Deputy J.W. Bissette found the man sitting cross-legged in the emergency lane of I-95 near the 114 mile-marker with a pile of rocks between his legs. Bissette was responding to the area after receiving a call about a man walking north on the interstate who appeared to be intoxicated. On his way, Bissette received another call that the man was throwing rocks at passing motorists. As Bissette arrived at the location around 9:30 p.m., a rock hit his patrol car. The man allegedly tried to kick Bissette as he was being handcuffed and then rolled down an embankment.

Cpl. J.M Thompson arrived and assisted Bissette in getting the man to the patrol car, where he kicked the windshield of the patrol car and broke it. The man was taken to the magistrate's office where an owner of a vehicle allegedly struck by one of the rocks had taken out a warrant for his arrest.

In addition to two counts of damage to personal property, the man was charged with attempted assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. The magistrate also found the man to be in contempt of court and jailed him for 30 days for irate behavior in the magistrate's office. Investigators later connected the man to an altercation at a labor camp near Rock Ridge where a tractor owned by Kenneth Bailey was damaged.

Most likely, this is an undocumented alien...

They'll probably send him back home, so he can repeat the process!

Howard Morris

He was a very talented comedic actor and one of the four headliners (along with Imogene Coca and Carl Reiner) on Sid Caesar's "Your Show of Shows" in the early fifties.

Hoooty Hoot! One of my favorite ways of communicating. Tell my six year old to "give me a hooty hoot" when he needs me to come see about him.

I'm waiting on the Ernest T rap, you know "jumped in the pot, the pot too hot," . . .
