True Story
True Story
SNELLVILLE, GA (AP) -- Police are investigating the death of a man who collapsed after he was head-butted by an armless man in a fight over a woman.
Snellville Police Chief Roy Whitehead said the two men, Charles Keith Teer and William Russell Redfern, scuffled Monday afternoon in the driveway of a suburban Atlanta home.
Police say Redfern, who was born with no right arm and only a short stump for his left arm, kicked Teer and Teer hit Redfern during the fight, which was due to long-standing bad blood over a woman who once dated Teer and now dates Redfern.
After bystanders separated them, Redfern "came back and head-butted (Teer) one time," Whitehead said.
Teer complained of feeling dizzy, collapsed, and died, Whitehead said.
Known by the nickname "Rusty," Redfern made a name for himself in the late 1980s for pen and ink drawings he does using his foot.

According to the web site for VSA Arts -- an affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that promotes and showcases artists with disabilities -- Redfern's drawings take one to six months to complete.

That's also inspiring, but you probably shouldn't kill someone with your head if it's apparently that powerful.
