Race to the bottom
Another raid on the wrong residence; another dead dog. This time, Iraq War veteran Adam Arroyo says he came home on Monday to find his door busted down, and his beloved pup dead from bullet wounds.

A 59-year-old duffer was arrested after he broke a Callaway 5-iron over the arm of a 65-year-old guy in
his foursome. He then allegedly stabbed the victim with the sawed-off club.
