The Trifecta! – Pocasset Man Accused of Beating Man With Weatherstripping Who Tried To Sell Him A Dog

CapeCodOnline.com – A 57-year-old Pocasset man is accused of swinging a piece of weatherstripping at a man who tried to sell him a dog, court records show.

Richard F. Damon, of 7 Third St., pleaded not guilty in Falmouth District Court on Tuesday to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery. He was released on $250 cash bail and ordered to stay from the man. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for June 11.

At 5:34 p.m. Monday, Bourne police responded to the Pocasset Mobil Home Park, where the man told them he was punched in the head by Damon, records show.

Moments later, Damon allegedly retrieved a piece of wooden weatherstripping that a witness said resembled a baseball bat and swung it at the man, striking his forearm and bicep, records show.

The man left a dog and its pedigree papers with Damon in an attempt to sell the dog to him Friday, records say. Damon returned the dog but not the papers, setting off the dispute, records say.

BOOM! I told you they always come in threes. The Cape Cod gods are fickle gods but they always send the crazies to us as a triple treat.

Listen, if you leave a dog and its pedigree papers with a guy in the Pocassett Mobile Home Park then all bets are off. You should consider yourself lucky he gave you back the dog, you don’t bitch about the papers. That’ll get you weatherstripped right across the arm sure as rain in April.

P.S. What kind of weatherstripping is made of wood and resembles a baseball bat? I think this guy might be so stupid that he got a Louisville Slugger confused with weatherstripping. I LOVE LAMP!
