Obviously, this man is from Florida and loves hats. Now onto the story:
A Florida man was so upset with his 13-year-old stepson’s performance at a football game that he pulled a BB gun on him and fired rounds to “motivate” the child into doing sprints in his front yard.
Robert Lynn Barker, 42, was arrested on child abuse and aggravated assault with a weapon charges after a concerned neighbor called 911.
The teen was sent home on Saturday after he told his coach he felt dizzy. He suffered a concussion three weeks ago.
But Barker thought the boy needed more practice, not rest, so he sent him out in the scorching 107 degree weather. “You can’t play football and not be in shape,” Barker told WFTV. “He wants to play football, he likes playing football.”He says he would never intentionally hurt his son, and BB gun was used to motivate him–including the rounds that he fired to use as a “starter.”
“I was arrested for making my kid run sprints. Now, if you’re going to arrest me you go arrest every coach in America, ’cause I did not do nothing that every coach in America, every NFL coach does,” he said.
Barker has been ordered to stay away from the child. He says he plans on contacting an attorney.
