A man in Arlington, VA., was convicted for a very 'off base' incident that occurred after a night of drinking. The man, James Watson, 32, beat his room mate after he fell asleep on the couch and awoke to find a drawing of a penis on his cheek. Apparently Mr. Watson was not a fan of the artistic ability of the room mate and proceeded to beat the man in the face.
According to ARLNow, Watson awoke and “felt a tingling on his face,” leading him to use a mirror function on his phone. Upon seeing the cartoonish genitalia, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Ben Inman said, Watson went upstairs and began repeatedly punching the victim in the face.
The victim testified that we awoke to Watson punching him, while Watson argued that a heated verbal argument preceded a physical fight between the two men.
Watson was convicted of assault and battery but was spared jail time by the jury. In recommending no jail time, the jury might have felt sorry for Watson and the negative attention, media and otherwise, he received as a result of the genitalia on his face.
According Inman, Watson "was an object of ridicule in jail that weekend because he still had the penis drawn on his face.” Or perhaps really, really popular - six of one half a dozen of the other.
Rule # 1: NEVER be the first to pass out
Rule # 2: Draw genitalia on Rule # 1 breaker
