So, I am not the only duct tape user

I was going to put the work kook in the post title instead of “user” but I held back . . . but only until now. There I’ve said it: Kook. To tell the truth it wasn’t so much the duct tape because it was used for a reasonable purpose, if you want to restrain someone; it’s just the whole darn thing.

The local paper headlined with Man Buried up to his Neck; I cannot cite that article because a subscription is required. However Wane.com has it summarized nicely:

CROMWELL, Ind. (WANE)- Two Auburn men are facing felony charges, accused of tying up a Cromwell man and burying him up to his neck.

According to NewsChannel 15’s news partners at KPC News, Phillip Longsworth and Karl Karn are both facing a charge of criminal confinement causing bodily injury.

The incident began when Longsworth reported someone had stolen a saw from his business. That was when he and Karn allegedly lured the victim -who they say had knowledge of the theft- to Longsworth’s business.

Police say the two tackled the victim, bound his wrists and ankles with duct tape, dug a hole with a backhoe and then buried him up to his neck.

Investigators said the victim lied about the saw’s location in order to get the two men to leave and then escaped on his own.

The victim is not facing any charges related to the theft of the saw.

Both sources have a picture, but wane.com has this one is color:

Maybe this is why the K word popped into my head . . . or maybe not. I’m playing it safe here.
