A 49-year-old man was sentenced to two-to four years in prison for firing a crossbow at his neighbor after a dispute about the breed of a neighbor's dog last June. The neighbor said it was a pit bull; Carlos Lupercio said it was a labrador. Lupercio went home, returned with a crossbow pistol and fired at his neighbor, just missing.
Police said alcohol was involved in the incident. Lupercio gave indications of cognitive dissonance. The neighbor said Lupercio was a lunatic.
Lupercio pleaded no contest to terroristic threats and animal neglect. The judge credited him for 282 days of jail time.
