Crossing Ron

Jersey City, New Jersey, June 27, 2008:

Jersey City police arrested a 59-year-old man accused of firing a crossbow at his neighbor. Officer Kate Flood said the man got into an argument with his politician neighbor Ron about the sexual orientation of Ron's running mate Brad Thursday evening. Ron said Brad is straight, but armed neighbor said he is "a faggot if I ever seen one."

After the argument, police say the angered man went into his apartment and returned with a black crossbow.

Officiers said the man shot the crossbow when Ron tried to extend his hand to apologize.

Police were called, and the man was arrested on suspicion of making terrostic threats and other violations.

Ron and Brad refused to comment on the incident or on Brad's hazy sexual orientation.
