LET'S GET BLASTED
A stubborn lug nut got the better of one Washington man after he blasted the wheel with a 12-gauge shotgun and peppered his legs with buckshot.
The 66-year-old Southworth man had been repairing a Lincoln Continental for two weeks and removed all but one lug off the right rear wheel when he lost patience and decided to shoot it off. From about arm's length, he fired the shotgun at the wheel.
The man, who was not identified, suffered from severe, but non-life threatening, buckshot wounds, some as high as his chin.
Police reports say he was not intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Too bad. If he'd been drinking, he might have missed.
