My family is stable and well adjusted
compared to this Kentucky family.
A Bristol man has been released from medical care after being run over by a lawn mower three months ago, forcing amputation of a leg.
According to a Thursday night press release from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, Douglas Ferguson, 76, is charged with attempted second-degree murder. The incident that led to both his charges and injuries occurred on June 28.
For unspecified reasons, Ferguson allegedly tried to attack his son with a running chain saw. SCSO investigators report the two men had an ongoing feud with several previous run-ins.
“The son defended himself against the attack by running over the suspect with the lawn mower,” states an SCSO press release. “The injuries that the suspect (Ferguson) sustained were as a result of the lawn mower striking and running over him.”
