Does This Look Like The Face Of A Man Who Slashed The Tires Of An Elderly Woman's Car Because She Took His Favorite Seat At Bingo Night?
POLK COUNY, FL – Ethel Britt, 88, still can’t believe Monday night bingo ended with 2 slashed tires. “It looked like somebody took an ice pick and slashed both them tires in the same place. I said I wonder who in the world could have done that.” said Ethel Britt. It didn’t take long to find out. A security camera at the Lake Wales Retirement Home where Ethal was playing bingo caught the culprit. It clearly shows a man jab something into the tire and then he walks to the other side of the van and jabs another tire. “I said I know him! That’s Fred!” said Ethel Britt. Fred Smith, 82, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Police say he admitted to popping Ethel’s tire’s with an ice pick because she had taken his favorite seat at bingo. The bingo night fiasco started when Fred evidently missed out on his favorite spot. Ethel says she had no idea he was that mad.
Look at that mug. That’s the Grumpy Cat scowl of a man who has seen some shit in his day and is permanently marked with irritability. Ethel’s lucky that’s the worst thing Fred Smith did that night. You know the sayings. Never rub another man’s rhubarb and never get in the way between a senior citizen and Bingo Night. Heaven help that old coot if she actually struck paydirt in Fred’s seat. Her daily pill organizers would be filled with Cyanide by the next Early Bird Special. TBH Fred did everyone a favor by slashing Ethel’s tires. Anytime an 88-year-old bag of bones is forced off the roads it’s a safer, and faster, day for everyone.
