Police: Greenwood man pulls gun, pistol whips longtime friend over Bruno Mars song

A Greenwood man was booked into the Johnson County Jail over the weekend after he was accused of reaching for his handgun instead of his Shazam app to end a dispute with his longtime friends over a Bruno Mars song.

Roger D. Washburn, 71, is facing a charge of battery after the Friday night incident at his home in the 2700 block of Reflection Way.

...

The man told police that they have all been friends for 50 years.

...

The man said they were all talking when an argument broke out over a song and its artist. The man said the song they were debating was sung by Bruno Mars, but Washburn said that it wasn't.

When the man showed Washburn proof that it was indeed a Bruno Mars song, the argument grew more intense. He told police that they both stood up and continued to argue until Washburn pulled a gun on him.

The man said he responded to the brandished weapon by calling Washburn a "chicken (expletive)" and Washburn swung the weapon at him, striking the man in the face and arm.

...

The police report does not say what Bruno Mars song the men were arguing about.
