This man in Georgia, Michael Crowley, has been arrested for killing his uncle, Roderick Crowley, over a honey bun. Yes, you read that right – a honey bun.
Now, we all love our snacks, but this is on a whole other level. Apparently, Michael was not too happy that his uncle had the audacity to eat his precious honey bun. So, what does he do? He goes and takes his uncle’s life over a pastry. Talk about taking sugar addiction to a whole new extreme!
According to DeKalb County warrants, 29-year-old Michael Crowley got angry when he found out his uncle, 48-year-old Roderick Crowley, had eaten his honey bun from the refrigerator. A witness told Michael to calm down and leave the house, but he came back and allegedly shot Roderick four times in the chest and arms, killing him.
Warrants say Michael then called 911 and told the operator that he shot Roderick and was hiding in the woods. A police dog later found Michael’s gun.
DeKalb police first responded to the shooting shortly after 11:20 a.m. last Thursday at the 4100 block of Loveless Drive in the Ellenwood community.
Michael has been charged with malice murder. The court showed he was released on bond and waived his right to an initial hearing. 11Alive has reached out for more information on the details of his release.
I mean, seriously, who knew a sweet treat could lead to such a tragic and messed up situation? It just goes to show you, people will do some crazy things when it comes to their snacks. Rest in peace, Roderick – hopefully, there are plenty of honey buns in heaven for you.
