Iowa farmer kills wanted fugitive

[Hoosier Cowboy]

WELLINGTON, Kan. (TheBlaze/AP) – Authorities have identified a 42-year-old Iowa fugitive who was fatally shot by a farmer in south-central Kansas.

Sumner County Sheriff Darren Chambers says Joseph L. Lamasters, of Creston, Iowa, was wanted in that state for a probation violation stemming from drug charges.

KSN-TV reports Kansas authorities began searching for Lamasters after he left his ID at a Kansas Turnpike tollbooth Monday, apparently to retrieve money to pay the toll. That’s when authorities learned he was wanted in Iowa.

Silly criminal, don't mess a farmer. Not only are they armed with a wide variety of high-powered rifles and 12 guage shotguns, they tend to be pretty good shots as well.

Attn scum, do you see the guy in the red suit with the pointy beard and the pitchfork? You're not in Kansas anymore!

Why didn't that farmer just use a ballpoint pen to stop the guy?

Criminal; "Hey mister, your feed sucks, I am going to strangle you."

Farmer: "I'll have you know, my feed is great, and you should never bring bare hands to a gun fight." BANG

Another nice Kansas day with a little impromptu fun. Got to love it.

Seems that the farmer saved the taxpayers the expense of a trial.
