Maybe A Little Too Passionate About the Game
We've all been here before right? Well, maybe not. Check out this match gone bad from Hartland, Maine:
According to the Bangor Daily News, a family game of croquet turned ugly when one player was assaulted, another set fire to their home and the police were called in.
Neighbours said Andrew Fox III was playing croquet with his wife Lisa and her 16-year-old son. But when Fox lost the game, he turned toward his stepson and punched him in the head. The boy and his mom then ran to a neighbour's home and called police.
At the point, police say Fox barricaded himself inside the family's mobile home and set it on fire. An arrest quickly followed while firefighters were called in to extinguish the blaze.
