Busted and Beaten Badly

Black Belt Jared So a couple of days ago I wrote a blog with a story in it about how Jared went into a police station to take care of a ticket from a boat trailer with broken taillights and almost got arrested.

Well, Jared took care of everything Tuesday afternoon, and it was a very good thing because by the time the next business day happened he was in the presence of police once again.

We were at the Sunset Station playing poker after bowling. The game was 1-2 NL hold'em. I busted Danny when I snap called his limp re-raise all-in with KJ off and it held against his 54 off. I wasn't too fond of the game as there was this guy that I simply just didn't like. We left around 3:30 am, and Jared decided to stay around because the guy was most certaintly going to be giving away the $400 he had in front of him and Jared had Christmas shopping to do.

I remember doing that. I remember being in games like that with guys like that and swearing that I'm not leaving until they leave, and always quitting ahead.

So we went home. The next morning I woke up and was greeted by the announcement that Jared had been arrested last night. I thought it was for the trailer thing. Nope. He beat some ass.

So, the guy , Canadian as Shawn would refer to him as or Savage as Scott would refer to him as, ended up playing heads up with Jared. Jared won. The guy didn't want to rebuy. Jared walked to valet to catch a cab. The guy followed him.

"Hey man, lemme get dat money back from you. I got a morgage and kids and shit, man..."

Long story short, the guy begged the whole way from the poker room to the valet and kept jibber-jabberin while Jared was waiting for a cab. He started getting aggressive sticking his hands into his pants and pockets like he was reaching for a weapon, got close to Jared, and Jared popped him in the nose. The guy went down, popped back up, charged Jared, and Jared hip tossed him.

Notice, that Jared popped him and didn't jump on him. Jared was really trying to defend himself without trying to get into a fight. The guy got back up and re-engaged with Jared.

After the guy got tossed, he charged Jared again, and this time it went to the ground. Jared had him in a kimora, that transitioned into an arm bar (that dislocated the guy's elbow), and Jared finally put the guy to sleep with a triangle as security and the police showed up.

Long story short - the cops are like, whatever - you attacked him, you lost, stfu and go home, but this guy was going off about how he wanted to press charges and all the bull crap. Jared beat this guy's ass and got a taxi cab home paid for by the Henderson Police Department. God bless video surveilence, eh?

So, Thursday night (bout 36 hours after the fight), Jared gets a call from the Henderson PD. They want to know if he has any martial arts training. Lawl. "You looked like you were trained professionally in the video, and you hurt the guy pretty bad." The guy suffered a dislocated elbow, a broken nose, and was still in the hospital.

For the record, Jared has zero martial arts training. We watch a lot of UFC together, but no training. He wrestled in high school.

One, people like that piss me off so much. Don't sit in the game if you can't afford to be there. Then, don't beg for your money back when you lose it. Then, don't threaten violence. Jared was genuinely concerned that this guy was about to pull out a weapon with how he's been acting and decided to pop him in the nose before he was facing a knife or a gun. Obviously the video shows that Jared was acting in self defense otherwise he would've been taken to jail, not be given a free cab ride home.

GG sir.

Peace and good luck,

Devo
