Arm-wrestling loss sets off man

Police in South Florida say a 25-year-old man went into a violent rage after losing an arm-wrestling match.

Police say Erick Lee Blanton drove his pickup truck across a lawn, over a mailbox and at several people after losing.

Witnesses told Fort Pierce police he also drew a rifle and pressed the barrel against the forehead of the man who beat him.

Police arrested Blanton at his home shortly afterward.

He faces four counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

It could not be immediately determined if Blanton has an attorney.
