Weird and Wacky Wednesday: “Holiday Game of Monopoly Leads to Arrest”

A fun family game of Monopoly can usually go on for a long time, but it ended abruptly for one Tulsa family when a player went directly to jail — for real.  Police say they were called to a house after receiving reports of shots fired. They arrived and immediately arrested John Armstrong. They say a family game of Monopoly over the holiday weekend turned violent after Armstrong and his stepfather got into an argument. Family members told police that Armstrong got upset and flipped the game board over and tossed some furniture around the room before taking their argument outside. That’s when they say Armstrong chased his stepfather and his sister down the street while pointing a gun at them. He allegedly fired one shot into the ground and that’s when someone called police. Armstrong was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. (KTUL-TV)
