Two Arkansas test strips were stitched after supposedly being relayed to shoot each other while wearing bulletproof vests • The Register

You have in your possession a bulletproof vest, a firearm and beer. While breweries weave their magic, you must of course make sure the armor works. Right?

This sounds like setting up a Donkey stuntmen, but the cops claim that two types of Arkansas, the United States, did it while drinking on their deck.

The two men, Charles Ferris, 50, and Christopher Hicks, 36, were arrested on Monday on suspicion of aggravated badault, according to the Northwest Northwest Arkansas newspaper, and, if the charges are proven, are certainly old enough. know better.

A sheriff's deputy was sent Sunday to Mercy Hospital in Benton County to investigate reports that a man was repeatedly hit while wearing a bulletproof vest.

There, he questioned Ferris who, according to a police affidavit, had a red mark on his chest.

Ferris spun a thread on which he had been fired six times, once in the chest and five times on the back, while protecting a man that he described as his "badet".

But he was finally broken by his wife, Leslie.

Police said she told them that Ferris was out drinking on the bridge with Hicks, their neighbor, when she heard a shot.

Rushing to see what was happening, she said she noticed Ferris had a red mark on her chest. She told police that when he complained of her injury, she had sent him to the hospital.

He had donned a bulletproof vest and asked Hicks to shoot him with a 22-gauge semi-automatic rifle, according to the affidavit. He said it hurt, what it would do.

Then it was Hicks' turn to wear the vest. Angry at being shot at, the affidavit claimed that Ferris had "unloaded the clip" – five rounds – in the back of Hicks.

Police said that no shells had penetrated.

Ferris was released from the hospital and was stung, while police recovered Hicks at his home. A firearm and a vest were seized.

Although prosecutors have not yet formally charged the tandem, their pleas are scheduled for May 13 before Judge Brad Karren of Benton County Circuit.

We asked The register resident firearms expert Gareth Corfield, what a mistake to do that.

"It's hard to think of anything more stupid than trying a bulletproof vest by putting one on your mate and then pulling it in. At least those bozos would have used only one .22 rather than something something more powerful that could have penetrated the thing.These vests are only intended to prevent low-energy shots, not high-speed rifle ammunition. "

Arkansas has the reputation of being the cradle of hillbilly culture. Claims like this suggest that it will not change anytime soon. ®
