Dude, just let it go

So, somebody tosses a cigarette butt on the ground, a daylong fight ensues, three people wind up in the hospital, and four go to jail. I think we're probably dealing with some more serious underlying issues here.

Police said a guest visiting Bobby Joe Ray, 42, tossed a cigarette butt toward the edge of Ray's yard on Aug. 4. The butt landed near a fence belonging to Ray's neighbor, Michael Alan Bradford, 24. Bradford got angry and started shouting about it.

Several residents of the neighborhood said Ray and Bradford argued about the butt all day, Mathews said, and eventually Ray's sister, Shirley Lynn Ray White, 32, who lives across the street, tangled with Bradford's wife, Heather Mills Bradford, 27, and the men soon joined in.

At least three went to the hospital for treatment of injuries, and all four were arrested Tuesday and were released on bond the same day.

Shirley Lynn Ray White is charged with third-degree assault. Bobby Joe Ray and Heather Mills Bradford are charged with harassment. Michael Alan Bradford is charged with harassment and third-degree assault.

Now, call me crazy, but somehow I doubt that these people were on friendly terms to begin with. Add in what I imagine to be some rather heavy daytime drinking and a pinch (okay, a few pinches) of crystal meth and, voila! You get this.
