JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) -- When a fisherman reels in a high-caliber catch, should he take up hunting? Two Arkansas fishermen will have to answer that question after one of them hooked a shotgun while angling on a lake in northeast Arkansas.
Devin Sullivan and his stepfather were fishing on Craighead Forest Lake when Sullivan started to reel in what he thought was a turtle, only to find a Remington 870 shotgun snagged on the end of the line.
The two men took the shotgun to a Jonesboro police station, where the gun has been taken as evidence, Detective Sgt. Todd Nelson told Jonesboro television station KAIT. Its serial number will be checked to see if it has been reported stolen or involved in any crimes.
Nelson offered a lighthearted observation, saying it may have been thrown into the lake by "somebody that's mad at a spouse about hunting too much."
First, i'm glad the police in Arkansas take this so seriously. I mean the gun "probably" wasn't used to kill anyone, right? There is always room for police humor in murder cases....
Second, so if it was used for hunting the fishermen are going to take up hunting. If it was used for a murder are they going to take up killing? Logic. Use it.
