Two neighbors are arrested after taking turns shooting each other while wearing bulletproof vest | Daily Mail Online
Charles Ferris, 50, and 36-year-old Christopher Hicks were booked into the Benton County Jail on Monday on suspicion of aggravated assault.
A police affidavit says the two men, who live next door to each other in Rogers, were drinking alcohol on a deck Sunday when Ferris, who describes himself as an Evangelical Anglican priest, told Hicks to shoot him with a .22-caliber semi-automatic rifle while Ferris wore the bulletproof vest.
According to the document cited by the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, the shot left a red mark on Ferris’ chest and that he was angry because it hurt.
The affidavit says Hicks then put on the vest and Ferris 'unloaded the clip' into his back, causing bruises but no serious injuries.
Ferris went to Mercy Hospital at 11pm that night to seek treatment for the bruises, which prompted medical staff to contact the authorities.
When interviewed by deputies, Ferris initially claimed that he was paid $200 to protect an 'asset,' and that he was shot six times guarding his charge from a man in a white suit at Hobbs State Park at around 10pm, reported 5 News Online.
Both neighbors are due back in court on May 13. If convicted of the felony charges against them, Hicks and Ferris could face up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
According to his Facebook page, Ferris is the founder of the Warriors Cross Church, which is apparently inspired by the medieval Catholic military order of the Knights Templar, whose mission it was to protect Christian pilgrims in the Holy Land during the Crusades.
