Charles Eugene Ferris, 50, and Christopher Hicks, 36, had been drinking when they decided to take turns shooting at each other while wearing a bulletproof vest, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Department.
Christopher Hicks and Charles Eugene Ferris decided to take turns shooting at each other while wearing a bulletproof vest, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
Naturally, the deputy wanted to know exactly how the man had gotten shot. After some initial reluctance, Ferris recounted an elaborate and fantastical yarn. He had been working in private security to make some extra money and help pay his bills, he said, and had met a man at bar in the nearby city of Springdale, Ark., who needed protection. Ferris referred to the man as his “asset,” and told police he could not, and would not, divulge his mysterious client’s identity.
Ferris shot back at the attacker with his .308 caliber rifle, getting hit in the chest with another round as he returned fire, he told police. Then, he jumped into the Mercedes, and he and his “asset” sped away. After the “asset” dropped him off at his car, Ferris dumped his guns at a friend’s house, he claimed. Then, he took himself to the hospital to see if he had been wounded.
After detectives went back to Ferris and informed him that he had been busted by his wife, the man admitted that he made up a fake story to avoid getting his neighbor in trouble. Then, he told them the less dramatic truth: There was no gun battle, and his mild injury was just the result of two friends making the questionable decision to combine weapons and alcohol.
