We are proud to name as this week’s Rick and Cutter Show Weenie of the Week…Oconto City Attorney Frank Calvert, who this week pleaded not guilty to two counts of reckless endangerment relating to an incident last November. Calvert was allegedly target-shooting from his porch in the Town of Oconto on Thanksgiving Day.
One of the bullets allegedly went through the window of a neighbor’s house. A woman near the window suffered cuts near her eyes from the flying glass, and the .223 round grazed a man in the shoulder. (Not the happiest Thanksgiving for those folks!) When Sheriff’s deputies arrived, Calvert was reportedly still out shooting, was armed with an AR-15 and cooperated with police. Calvert showed them a small pumpkin on a stump he used for target practice.
Calvert admitted the rifle and a box of ammo were his but said he found it hard to believe a round traveled far enough to hit the victims’ house. However, deputies say the direction he was shooting was consistent with the trajectory to the house.
So,
For reportedly coming even closer to killing someone on Thanksgiving than my great-aunt Harriet’s undercooked turkey.
For apparently thinking you have to shoot and kill the pumpkin before you can make a pie.
For allegedly giving his neighbor’s something to REALLY be thankful for on Thanksgiving… that he wasn’t a better aim.
We are proud to name Oconto City Attorney Frank “half cocked” Calvert who this week did plead not guilty to reckless endangerment charges after reportedly target shooting from his porch last Thanksgiving and, according to police, shooting his neighbor’s house and… his neighbors…as this week’s Rick and Cutter Show… Weenie of the Week!
