A Florida man’s attempt to quiet noisy neighbors took a bizarre turn when he ended up injuring himself with his own nunchucks. Larry Adams, 61, was arrested in Daytona Beach after confronting a group of neighbors he claimed were playing loud music late Monday night, according to FOX35 Orlando.
Witnesses reported that Adams initially tried to intimidate the group. His tactics included spraying them with bug spray and threatening to open fire on the partygoers. However, his plan quickly unraveled when he struck a car with the nunchucks. The weapon bounced back and hit him in the face.
“That was funny, I was like, this man really just hit himself with the nunchucks,” Cici Sylvester told FOX35.
Adding to the chaos, Adams allegedly threatened to shoot the group and doused them with roach spray. The incident led to both sides calling the police to complain about the other. When officers arrived, they found Adams with a cut on his forehead, presumably from the nunchuck mishap. A search of his residence revealed the nunchucks, an empty can of roach spray, and a box containing a loaded semiautomatic handgun magazine, WKMG-TV reported, citing the arrest affidavit. It remains unclear whether Adams possessed a firearm.
Adams was booked into the Volusia County Jail on charges of aggravated battery and assault. The apartment complex manager informed FOX35 that Adams is now facing eviction.
