Fight in car over $3 leads to fish tank attack

Mar 11th, 2009 | PORT RICHEY, Fla. -- Authorities said a fight in a car over $3 in gas money led to one passenger hitting another with a fish tank and then a beer bottle. The sheriff's office reported that an 18-year-old driver and 30-year-old passenger picked up their 26-year-old friend from a strip club on Monday night. When the driver asked for gas money, the man who had been picked up from the strip club refused to pay.

A fight between the three friends quickly escalated, and authorities said the 26-year-old man grabbed a fish tank from the back seat and began hitting the passenger. The passenger then managed to wrestle a beer bottle away and break it over the 26-year-old's head.

The driver eventually pulled over and called deputies. Both men were charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. They were being held on $10,000 bail.

1. Epic!

2. I fail to see how their ages are important

Except that they are the only way the article differentiates between them. :rofl:

3. Must have been a little fish tank

They're usually a bit unwieldy to attack people with. I mean, my 55gallon fits on the backseat of my car with about a 1/4" to spare in all directions.

4. Even a small one must've been difficult to use as a weapon.

And from the backseat, no less. :rofl:

5. Maybe it was a fish bowl

You could crack a skull open with one of those, and they're pretty easy to smash with.

6. So did they get thrown in the drunk tank?

:P

7. They forgot to include the most important sentence.

"Police suspect alcohol may have been involved." :D

8. That never would have happened.

IF THERE WAS A NARWHAL IN THE TANK IN THE CAR, YEA!!!

NARWHAL WOULD HAVE KICKED BOTH THERE ASSES!!!

YEA!!!! NARWHAL!!!!

9. "wrestle a beer bottle away"? Who had the beer bottle to start with?

Also, how hard to you have to hit someone to actually break a bottle over his head? That must have been one hell of a fight...
