Man charged with attacking mechanic with a broom, a gun, a wrench and a baby stroller

Talk about anger management.

Jamaal Johnson, 21, of Lakeland, Florida is facing a plethora of charges after threatening 22-year-old Randall Settles with everything but the kitchen sink.

According to The Ledger, Settles, who had known Johnson since they were kids, had been working on Johnson’s truck for a week and a half before the incident. After taking the truck for a test drive, Johnson was unhappy with how it was running. Settles explained to Johnson that, without parts, that was as good as it was going to get.

Psychotic meltdown in 3…2….1.

Most people would do one of two things in this situation:

1.) Accept that what your mechanic (especially one you have known since childhood) is being honest with you and purchase the parts needed to fix the truck.

Or 2.) Follow your mechanic when he leaves work, and then run him down with your truck in an empty lot so that the impact throws him about 10 feet in the air. Then, of course, go into your truck and get a broomstick and proceed to strike your mechanic with the handle, not the bristles, becasue the handle will hurt more. When the mechanic flees to find help from a friend, trap them both and threaten them with your trusty revolver. If all else fails, grab the baby stroller from your back seat and swing it at your mechanic and his friend. Lastly, grab a socket wrench and throw it at your mechanic, hitting him square in the face. If nothing else, the baby stroller should have distracted him.

Johnson chose option number 2 and is now being held at the Polk County Jail with a $91,000 bail. According to The Ledger, Johnson’s charges are plentiful. They range from: throwing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle, aggravated stalking, aggravated assault, criminal mischief, armed burglary, the list goes on.

Settles was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Centre to treat his injuries of road rash, bruising, and stitches.

But one question remains: does the baby stroller fall into the “armed with the cutest weapon” category? Just curious.
