Man accused of firing gun at opponent who scored TD on him in pickup game

A man in Florida became so upset after having a touchdown scored on him in a pickup football game that he allegedly threatened to kill his opponent and shot a gun at him.

Ruleon Michel, 28, was arrested Dec. 6 on charges of aggravated assault with a weapon and shooting into an occupied vehicle, according to Hannah Winston of the Palm Beach Post. The incident was reported to police by the brother of the man who scored the touchdown.

According to witnesses, a group of men was playing football at Wellington Green Park in Wellington, Fla., on Nov. 12 when a fight broke out. The brothers both told police that one of them had scored a touchdown on Michel, and Michel then threatened to kill them. The men then got into their cars, after which witnesses reported seeing a white BMW sedan speed off and possibly hit a black SUV. The brothers told police they were in the white car. Michel, who was apparently in the black SUV, allegedly pulled out a gun and started shooting at the BMW.

The brothers, aged 21 and 26, told police they got trapped at a dead end, and the younger brother fled the vehicle and ran toward a nearby mall. Michel allegedly continued to follow the BMW and fired several shots before the older brother got away and picked up his younger brother.
