Man accused of shooting catalytic converter thief, dragging body behind truck in Lakewood

Someone stole from the wrong guy:

According to court documents, Michael Scott Campbell told police he was sleeping in his Ford F-150 around 3:45 a.m. Saturday when he was woken up by someone attempting to saw the catalytic converter off his truck.
 
Campbell told police he saw two legs sticking out from under the truck when he opened the passenger door and fired “straight down” at the suspected thief. Campbell said he then fired two more shots at the man, according to court documents.

The man attempted to get into his vehicle but collapsed, court documents say. Campbell told police he then tied the man to the ball hitch of the F-150. Campbell said he dragged the man into a nearby field and left him.

No heroes in this story. Also, no real victims. Campbell *clearly* went buggo.  But the thief was… well, a thief. Such people are a burden on society. That one more is gone is…
