A Samurai sword-wielding, knife-throwing Volusia County man attacked his mother's boyfriend over a missing can of shrimp Saturday morning, an arrest report said.

Jayson Laughman, 34, of Deltona used a sword to break down a door and threw kitchen knives at family members after his mother's boyfriend accused him of taking a can of shrimp, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

Laughman told deputies he didn't remember everything that happened during the fight because he "went into code red and lost his temper," the report said.

Michael Airhart, 52, and Laughman had a "heated verbal argument" before agreeing to go outside and "engage in a physical fight" at the home they share located in the 700 block of North Firewood Drive at 8:30 a.m. Saturday.

Laughman threatened Airhart with a statue, but the fight outside did not escalate past that, according to the report.

Thinking the fight was over, Airhart returned to his bedroom with Laughman's mother.

The couple was watching television when Laughman started breaking through the bedroom door with a Samurai style metal sword, the report said.

Once inside the bedroom, Laughman made threats that he would use the sword to hurt Airhart, deputies say.

The couple was able to calm Laughman down and he left the room, but returned almost immediately and started throwing two kitchen knives at Airhart, deputies said.

Airhart was able to escape the bedroom through a sliding-glass door without being injured.

During the investigation, Laughman complained of chest pains. He was transported to Florida Fish Memorial Hospital, where deputies questioned him.

Although deputies arrested Laughman and charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, he remains in the hospital.

I go for canned tuna. I haven't tried the canned shrimp. Apparently it's very good as it holds some value in the world of manly physical confrontation/competition.

Obligatory:

I guess when you want shrimp, you want shrimp. Meth is a horrible drug.

Damn.
That dude is 1 year older than me but looks 20 years older.

Wow, get up this morning and someone posts something about a can of shrimp.

Guess there's no point in looking for an explanation, it's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness.

We're all prawns in Florida's game of chess.

Mr. Laughman didn't see the humor in this.

United States is raising a nation of savages

He should probably do the honorable thing, and fall on his sword like a good samurai.








Testicles first please.

Before even entering the topic I read the title and thought, “I wonder if this is in Florida”.

Swords FTW!

You never accuse a man of stealing your last can of shrimp...

Well to be honest it was Oregon coast sustainably caught shrimp. So I can see the outrage.

Anyone remember the Germany or Florida game on Loveline back in the day?

Wonder if the stepdad told him it was not a laughing matter.

Ditto.

WTF is wrong with that state...?

The best part:

"During the investigation, Laughman complained of chest pains. He was transported to Florida Fish Memorial Hospital, where deputies questioned him."

I googled it - that's a real hospital. LMAO

Meth's a hell of a drug

I guess the Hamburglar is branching out. Robble, robble.

The first thing I thought of when I read the thread title was "Must be ****ing Florida"....I read CP too damn much.

Sklar brothers still play it.

Why would they need to import shrimp from Oregon to Florida?

Reminds me of the tainted dog food story where they imported wheat from China to Kansas.

Samurais need their Fukushima-radiated shrimp, neh?

Very shellfish if he did in fact take the last can.

He was madder than a katana hot tin roof.

Time out young man!, Time out!

WHY DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?!!!

That must be some bad ass shrimp

That dude doesn't look crazy at all.

i didnt even know that shrimp came in a can

Even better in Elysium.

Ban samurai swords!!!



And ban kitchen knives, too! :D

They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown.

Just need to know, for my own sense of perspective.

For those who've seen this and either missed completely or recognized it, whether blazenly or flickeringly, . . . too old, or too obscure?

He looks like the type of guy that claims to be Jesus.

Probably too old.

This could have all been avoided if the man would have preferred melancholy pink shrimp!

I thought, "sigh... I bet this is another Florida story"

Who eats canned shrimp, anyway? :Lin:
