“Ryan Rucker, 33, was sleeping early yesterday when Michelle Smart [above], by her own admission, ‘attempted to make some sexual advances toward’ him, according to a police report detailing the 2 AM incident.” Now there’s a lead you don’t see every day, courtesy thesmokinggun.com. “Rucker told cops that he pushed the 30-year-old Smart off of him, which prompted an argument during which Smart ‘told him she would shoot him because she has the gun.’ Smart told officers that after Rucker ‘rejected her and pushed her off of him,’ he punched and kicked her multiple times.” Wait. Did the ironically named female in question have “the gun” at the time of the threat? Why yes she did . . .
Cops noted that Smart “continually was changing her story throughout the investigation,” adding that, “For these reasons, Ms. Smart’s account became less believable.”
Smart, judged the “primary aggressor” by cops, was arrested for domestic violence since Rucker “feared for his safety when Ms. Smart pulled the gun out and threatened to use it.” Cops seized a Ruger handgun and six bullets, which were placed into evidence.
What lesson did we learn here? I’ve put mine in the headline. Your turn.
