CULTURE: Arm Wrestler Loses, Goes on Rampage

Some people just can't take the emotional devastation that is losing an arm-wrestling match: South Florida cops say 25-year-old Erick Lee Blanton lost to a stronger opponent, then proceeded to flip out, jumping in his pickup, smashing a mailbox, and attempting to run down several people. For an encore, reports the AP, Blanton is accused of producing a rifle and holding it to his victorious opponent's head.

Blanton was arrested at his house a short time afterward, and charged with five counts of aggravated assault, both with a vehicle and a deadly weapon.
