Does This Look Like The Face Of A Man That Was Arrested For Allegedly Using A Lawnmower To Fling Gravel At A Family With A 9-Year-Old Child?
(Source)- A southeast Texas man drove his riding lawnmower onto a gravel driveway to fling rocks at a woman and her 9-year-old daughter, police say.
Johnny Dewitt Manning, 72, of Santa Fe was arrested Saturday afternoon on one count of injury to a child and one count of criminal mischief. He was released from the Galveston County jail after posting bond.
A 911 caller reported that he was dropping off his ex-wife and daughter at the home the woman shares with Manning, according to The Daily News of Galveston County. The man — who told authorities that Manning doesn’t get along with him — said that the 72-year-old got on a lawnmower as he was parking his SUV on the street. Manning then drove onto the end of the driveway, he said, launching rocks in the trio’s direction.
The woman was struck in the face, and the 9-year-old girl was hit on the nose, KTRK-TV reported. Rocks also caused more than $2,500 in damage to the SUV, shattering two windows and denting and scratching it in several places.
Let this be a lesson to all the kids out there that may see a Florida man like Johnny Dewitt Manning weaponizing lawn equipment in a place that somehow isn’t Florida.
1. If you see a guy that doesn’t appear to be a nerd or a washed up dad wearing a Superman shirt: Run.
2. If you see a guy using a lawnmower as a form of transportation instead of as a tool to cut the grass: Run.
3. If you see a guy that looks just like Vigo The Carpathian after a lengthy bout with meth addiction: Run.
4. If you see a guy that fits all three of those hypothetical scenarios at once and is also referred to by 3 names like he is an assassin, RUN!!!
Oh yeah and if you happen to find out that a charge like this is in the past of that guy, you are probably already completely fucked.
In 2006, he was charged with abuse of a corpse. A jury found him not guilty.
