Man shot by his stepdad ends up in jail with him
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – A man who police said was shot by his stepfather ended up in the same jail with him after officers discovered outstanding arrest warrants against the victim. Police told The Daily News of Jacksonville that 37-year-old Richard Hayes shot his stepson Thursday night.
Authorities say 21-year-old Michael Bass was holding a bloody towel to his abdomen when paramedics arrived, saying his stepfather shot him.
Deputies then discovered Bass had outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court and took him to jail after he was treated and released from the hospital.
Police said Hayes told investigators he has a bad neck and shot his stepson because he thought Bass wanted to fight him.
The men remain in jail. It's unclear if they have attorneys.

It's clear to me they don't have brains... or at least not a lot of 'em
The police, either... don't they think there *might* be some bad feelings in there?
