A burglar who broke into a home just east of Fresno rubbed food seasoning over the body of one of two men as they slept in their rooms and then used an 8-inch sausage to whack the other man on the face and head before running out of the house, Fresno County sheriff's deputies said Saturday.
Lt. Ian Burrimond, describing the crime as one of the strangest he's ever heard of, said a suspect was found hiding in a nearby field a few minutes later and taken into custody on suspicion of residential robbery.
Deputies, he said, had no problem linking the suspect to the crime.
"It seems the guy ran out of the house wearing only a T-shirt, boxer shorts and socks, leaving behind his wallet with his ID," Burrimond said.
Arrested was Antonio Vasquez Jr., 21, of Fresno.
Burrimond said deputies headed to the victims' home in the 300 block of South Thompson Avenue near Kings Canyon Road shortly after 8 a.m. Saturday regarding a burglary in progress.
The victims, both farmworkers, told deputies they were awakened by a stranger applying "Pappy's Seasoning" to one of them and striking the other with a sausage.
Both the spices and the sausage, Burrimond said, reportedly were obtained from the victims' kitchen.
After the man fled, the victims discovered the home had been ransacked and that some money was taken, Burrimond said.
Burrimond said the money was recovered, but that the piece of sausage used in the attack was discarded by the suspect and eaten by a dog.
"That's right, the dog ate the weapon," Burrimond said.
Manhug....It's your reality Daniel...take care of it in your own way. I just know through experience and observation, if the heart is not ready, then it is not ready. No big deal, it's life. I'm sure there will be a new door and a key to give away, only if you want the door knocked on and feel comfortable with letting somebody in your home. There is nothing wrong with closing the door and throwing away the key. It has to happen sometimes....
I'll give it a try today when I go to the local rest stop in search of my soulmate.....I've been very unlucky at the random bus stops and local rest homes
Thanks for sharing somechick You live, you learn. I enjoyed reading your observations. You're sure a wise woman and in touch with the force....It sounds like it truly came from the depths of your abyss...your source...
Hey coolieno. Please don't be sorry. It's no problem really. I can live with it and be happy. Sweden it not all that bad. My kids are here, my health is great, and I am happy pretty much all the time. Sure it gets boring here at times, but that happens anywhere. Sweden aint no California, but I don't regret anything and I do think Sweden is a great place for an American to live...
I've been in Sweden for nine years. And it sucks here at times. You think I wanna live here? You don't think I wanna be in the Californian sun?
I get your point. I love my kids and nothing else matters to me when I am with them or when my daughter says she loves me (my son is too old and cool to say it lol).
My daughter bursted in tears today cause her necklace with a silver heart came off and was lost for a while. I gave that to her for her birthday and she says she wears it so she thinks of me when she is not with me. We found it eventually. It was just a reminder for me that I am doing the right thing. Cause I was there to experience something with her. Something meaningful.
My father and some friends think I should not sacrifice my life by living in Sweden just because of the kids. They say I can do so much more or have a better life in California or Las Vegas. Sure the culture is way better and my best friends family live there. However, my kids are real love to me. They are my life. We love each other truly unconditionally. I know I cultivate with them confidence, happiness, and love that that they need. They give me the love that I need. I could never imagine myself being oceans apart from them. Sure, I can have more fun in some ways in America, but the guilt would depress me.
I live 5 minutes away from my kids. Their school is 5 minutes away from me. I need my kids and they need a father. Their mommy and daddy have been broken up for 4 years now, but mommy and daddy are still good friends, spend X-mas and birthdays together, and go to soccer games together to see our kids play. Divorce does not mean automatic hell for the kids. If we tell them that, then that is what they are going to believe.
Anyways, yeah, divorces suck, life can suck at times, but it's our choice to be happy, sad, or angry. The choice is yours, what do you really want? What is real?
I was kind of being sarcastic and kidding around in this thread....it's not like I had some urgent need to respond to it yesterday.
To be honest, it's just a name and a game. Yeah, I love the game and I had no part in naming it way back then. I just laugh at people who always point out "FOOTBALL?" iT'S NOT FOOTBALL! Whatever It's kinda late to change the name, especially now how it's America's number one sport. Just imagine the rage that would ensue if some world body tried to change the name of our game...lol, not that would be a war that I can get behind
kushtibok, start a major campaign and see how far you get. I enjoy soccer and football. Whichever one is more "beautiful"belongs to the eye of the beholder.
This is a silly debate although it does make sense...in a sense lol. Sure American football uses hands and soccer uses feet. So what.
Listen, maybe you guys can have the name back once you start dominating the world in soccer and if some other nation can assemble a better football team than America's worst.
Until then, I consider it fotbol/soccer. The Brazilians have demonstrated to be the dominate nation in fotbol. So they have patentee rights to fotbol.
If you invented a sport and can't compete for championships on a continual basis, then you should lose all rights to owning the name. Sorry.
Man, I was thinking the Doors at first, but I was thinking you wanted to make it tougher for me....so my mind drew a blank and search was my friend on google....so that is how I came up with careless whisper.
Man, are we drifting apart Ambrose? Does this mean we can't dance together...No we cant talk at all...Please take me along... When you slide on down
Burglar victims wake to spice rub, sausage attack
