What the...?

Hilarious article from the Post-Crescent which I had to reproduce on this blog...

The Post-Crescent

APPLETON — Appleton police, believing someone was hurt inside the second-floor apartment at 121½ Atlantic St., broke through the front door to find 46-year-old Ronald O. Johnson lying on the floor in extreme pain.

Johnson’s assailant had opened a window, broken out the screen and jumped from the second-floor window to escape before officers entered the apartment.

Police are still searching for the 26-year-old man who apparently lived at the same address. Officers had responded to the address after a neighbor heard parts of the disturbance and made forced entry when no one answered the door.

Johnson was transported to an area hospital with broken ribs. When it turned out he had a bench warrant out for his arrest from Shawano County, he was booked into the Outagamie County Jail. He was released Friday morning after posting a $10,000 bond on a non-criminal matter.

Johnson told police his roommate began beating him after the two had an argument about a cribbage game they were playing.
