BBQ Stand Owner Shoots Man Threatening Father With A Spike — Police Clear Him Of Any Wrongdoing

By James England

PASCO COUNTY, FLORIDA — The father of a father-and-son roadside barbecue stand was threatened with a six inch spike after a homeless man asked him for money. According to several witnesses, including the father, the father first offered to give the man a job. Instead of working for a living, the would-be attacker brandished a spike. Thankfully, the son was able to use his gun to protect himself, his father, and the business.

Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco gave a preliminary assessment of the scene for WTSB 10 News where he said that the father had tried to do a very noble thing — offer a job to a man who comes to you for money. He went on to say that it appears the son not only defended his own life but also that of his father.

Florida has “Stand Your Ground” laws in place. So long as a person has every legal right to be some place and he fears serious bodily harm or death to himself or, in this case, his father, he has no duty to retreat and may defend himself with deadly force.

In this case, the son may very well have saved his father’s life.
