ROANE COUNTY, W.Va. (WCHS) — A man in Roane County faces charges in the death of a man he is accused of striking in the head with a leaf blower during an argument over a pig.
Andrew Franklin Bush, 26, of Looneyville is charged with second-degree murder and malicious assault following an incident that took place Oct. 22 on Canoe Run Road in Looneyville, according to Roane County Magistrate Court records.
The charges are in connection with an incident in which State Police said Bush struck William Greathouse with a leaf blower. The Roane County Prosecutor’s Office said Greathouse died following the incident.
State Police said troopers found Greathouse in the bed of a pickup truck when they arrived at the scene, and he was unconscious and not breathing.
Three witnesses reported that Greathouse, the alleged victim, Bush and another man were attempting to move a pig into the bed of a pickup that was parked in a driveway. According to the complaint, the cage broke, and the pig dropped to the ground. Witnesses said Greathouse and Bush began yelling obscenities at each other and then began punching each other in the face.
Before the altercation was broken up, witnesses said, Bush picked up a leaf blower and struck Greathouse in the head with such force that the leaf blower tube broke.
The complaint said Bush gave a statement to troopers and acknowledged hitting Greathouse with the leaf blower, that he was sorry for what he did and that hitting him with the leaf blower was too excessive.>

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Bubba:hey Leroy, haven't seen you in a few months. Where ya been?
Leroy: I've been busy lately. I'm taking a couple of night classes down at the community college.
Bubba: well, howdy! What are you studying?
Leroy: well, I guess my favorite class is one called Logic.
Bubba:.... what's Logic?
Leroy: the best way I know to explain it is to give you an example of logic. Bubba, you got a weed eater?
Bubba: yeah, I do.
Leroy: well, logic says that if you have a weed eater, then you probably have a yard.
Bubba: wow!
Leroy: and since you have a yard, you probably have a house.
Bubba I'll be damned!
Leroy: and since you have a house and a yard, you probably have a wife.
Bubba: man, this logic stuff is something else, huh
Leroy: and since you have a house and yard and a wife, logic says you probably have kids.
Bubba: good Lord have mercy!!A few days later Bubba and a couple of other guts are trying to load a pig into a truck when one of the guys says "I wish Leroy was here to help... anyone seen him lately? Bubba says "I saw him the other day down at the hardware store. He's been taking night classes down at the community college. He said his favorite class is called Logic. One of the other guys says "whuts logic?"
Bubba says "the best way I know to explain it is to give you an example.... You got a weedeater?" The other guy says "nope". Bubba says "well then, you're a queer...."
