TEMECULA, Calif. -- An angry father is accused of using a stun gun on a 23 year old man who sent his 17 year old daughter an explicit cell phone picture.

William Atwood Sr., 45, was charged Wednesday with multiple felonies in connection with the case.

Authorities say Atwood lured Justin Moore to his home, ordered him to strip down to his boxer shorts, and tied him up and tased him with a stun gun before turning him over to a sheriff's deputy.

Moore told authorities he sent a photo of his genitals to several friends, including Atwood's daughter, as a joke.

Atwood apparently didn't think the joke was funny when his daughter told him about the picture in January.

There should be no charges against the father.

He shocked Moore on the shoulder for about 20 seconds and asked him how he liked it, court records say.

Seems like he should have applied it  a bit lower.

The father would walk if I were on the jury.

Absolutely! Not only should he get off scott free he should be commended for his restraint in the way he handled the situation. A severe beat down was in order and Dad used the proper tools at hand to make his point without having to resort to creating a messy bleeding broken pile of pervert.

Not to mention the "ute" in question could also be prosecuted for statutory rape, given she's only 17 and he's 6 years older.  Bad boy...very bad.

That's kind of a stretch, even if she did herself with the cell phone.  But the little bastard that sent the pic ought to just have to suck it up and live with the consequences of his own stupidity instead of the State stepping in to trash the father's life, all the little shit is going to learn from this is that he can behave like a total savage and the State will still protect him from the consequences of his own behavior.

Well, it IS California we're talking about here.

Could have been worse... could have stabbed him and his daddy.

Dad was to restrained if you asked me.

He should have just buried him on the Res like he threatened to do in the first place! Now, they're going to be able to take his weapons away! Now he'll be a sittin' duck for this ass clown and his buddies out for revenge! "It is Kalifornica after all".

ETA:

Some shithead sent a pic like this to my 13 year old granddaughter! She had no idea who sent it or what it was, as the pic was pretty grainy. I used her phone and sent back a pic of my .44 along with a threat to forward it to the cops! I'm hoping it was a mistake and my granddaughter was not the intended recipient. She nor any of her friends new the number where it originated from.
