Smokey this is not ‘Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.

Man cited for using stun gun, pepper spray on opposing bowlers

A league bowler went over the line when he used pepper spray on two opponents after zapping one of them with a stun gun, Lincoln police said.

The man accused of misdemeanor assault told police he was defending himself.

According to police reports, two teams were trash talking during a league match at Sun Valley Lanes on Thursday night.

“But everything was friendly,” one of the bowlers told police, according to the report.

Three of the team members walked outside and, they told police, were followed by opponent Matthew Lafon, 20. According to reports, Lafon and one of the team members, a 30-year-old man, were arguing face-to-face when Lafon pulled out an 80,000-volt stun gun and applied it to the man’s abdomen.

The man hit Lafon in the face and pushed him away. One of the other bowlers, 28, went to break up the confrontation and was pepper sprayed when Lafon pulled a canister from his pocket and aimed it at the man who pushed him.

Lafon drove home and was contacted by police at his apartment at 2820 Jameson North. According to police reports, he said he was “placed in fear of my safety” outside the bowling alley at 321 Victory Lane.

Police said he was the instigator and cited him for misdemeanor assault.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
