Police say a man shot at his neighbor with a crossbow after they argued over the breed of a dog Saturday.
Carlos Lupercio, 49, 1009 N. 30th St., No. 2, allegedly started arguing with a 25-year-old man about the breed of the younger man’s dog on the sidewalk on Apple Street between 29th and 30th streets just before 5 p.m., Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood said.
The owner said the dog was a pit bull, but Lupercio said it was a lab, Flood said.
Lupercio went home and allegedly returned about 20 minutes later with a crossbow pistol, Flood said. The other man tried to extend his arm in apology, but Lupercio allegedly fired the crossbow at him as he was walking away, Flood said.
The man was only two or three feet away when Lupercio allegedly fired, Flood said. The arrow just missed the other man, hitting a tree instead, Flood said.
Lupercio allegedly was still holding the weapon when officers arrived, Flood said. When officers tried to arrest him, Lupercio, who was in a wheelchair, allegedly resisted them.
Lupercio was arrested and jailed on suspicion of terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony, discharging a weapon within city limits, resisting arrest, failure to comply, marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia, Flood said.
Police believe alcohol was a factor in the incident, she said.

Another "what the hell is wrong with people" story --Police: Man killed dog with machete
Tuesday, Jun 24, 2008 - 10:44:55 am CDT
Police who were called to an assault Monday night were called back to the same residence later that night after a man allegedly killed a dog with a machete.
Police were called to 1415 S. 10th St. around 6:30 p.m. on a report of an assault between two women, Officer Katie Flood said. Jessica Goff, 26, who lives there with her boyfriend, had decided she wanted two other roommates, Leonard Yankton, 32, and Meri Backensto, 29, to move out, Flood said.
They began to argue because a floor had been scratched by some belongings being moved, Flood said.
Goff and Backensto, who were cited on suspicion of assault, left the residence after police left, but Yankton allegedly was still unhappy about being asked to leave, Flood said. He called police around 8 p.m. and said Goff’s female pit bull had attacked him, so he struck it multiple times with a machete.
The dog was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic, but it did not survive. The veterinarian told police the animal’s injuries appeared inconsistent with an attack, Flood said. The vet said it appeared Yankton had tried to chop the dog’s head off as it was lying down on the floor.
Yankton was cited on suspicion of cruelty to animals, a Class IV felony.
Yankton had lived with Goff for a while, and his dog had mated with the pit bull and sired puppies, Flood said. He didn’t appear to have any problems with the animal prior to Monday night.
Police responded a disturbance call at the same residence late last month and ended up arresting five people, including Goff, who was arrested on warrants for failure to appear on a number of traffic violations.
and the picture they have that Yankton dude is smiling! What a scary, scary freak.Labels: decline of civilization

Investigators interviewed and subsequently arrested the baby's mother.
Investigators also issued an arrest warrant for the baby's father, 29-year-old Brian Bowder of Greenwood.
