Father Accused of Shooting, Paralyzing Daughter's Boyfriend After Finding Him in Closet
Saturday, August 18, 2007

E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — A man accused of shooting and paralyzing his daughter's boyfriend has been charged with first-degree battery and a terroristic act.

George David Reed, 48, of Highfill was arrested July 31 in the shooting of Michael Austin Guzman, 19.

Reed was charged Friday in Benton County Circuit Court and is free on a $150,000 bond. His arraignment is set for Sept. 10.

Authorities say Reed came home and found Guzman hiding in the closet of his 17-year-old daughter's bedroom. Police said Reed beat Guzman with a pool stick, then left the room to retrieve a gun. Guzman and his girlfriend blocked the bedroom door with a dresser, and Reed began shooting through the door, police said.

A bullet struck Guzman in the back and lodged in his spinal cord, fracturing three vertebrae. Doctors don't expect Guzman to regain any feeling or mobility below his waist, authorities said.

If convicted, Reed faces up to life in prison.

Saw that, and could relate, minus the shooting through the door and hitting him accidentally.

Since he's parlyzed from the waist down he's got no use sneaking in any girlfriends bedroom and hiding.

You did NOT hide...you RAN and I mean fast!

Stay safe.

It could have been worse, he could have been hiding in ny house......

My sympathy lies with the father.

Harsh...You guys must not have teen sons. Blindly firing through a door and paralyzing a kid? If I were on the jury he'd get 20 years.

He is damn lucky he didn't hit his daughter, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down, or worse.

He is a dangerous individual.

You are absolutely correct sir, placing his daughter in danger was stupid.

And if I did I would teach them what is proper and acceptable behavior and what is not.

At 19 he would not be considered a child. He will now pay the high price of extreme stupidity.

And at 17, the girl isn't either (in many states).

I would want to see more of the facts in this case before I declare the young man a pervert, sh*tbag, or deserving of being shot.

The girl could be hell on wheels for all we know, and might have met this guy at a mall and invited him back to her house. He may have had no reason at all to believe that he wasn't allowed there until she yelled, "daddy's home, hide in the closet or he'll kill you."

Then again, he could be a firend of the family who knows better than to be there, but came over anyway hoping to get lucky.

Either way, he didn't deserve to be shot and paralyzed for life for doing what every 19 year old male in the country is trying to do........ get some arse.

Statutory rape or whatever the dude was planning on doing in that room is no small matter. Of course the shooting was overkill... I would have just kicked the door in and grabbed his ass, and thrown him out. I get to shoot plenty, but kicking in doors I dont do so much.

A girl I know whose dad is a huge ex-football player opened the door to their house when her first date arrived holding a banana and a knife and told the boy pretty much not to mess around or wack, and chopped the banana in half all while looking the kid right in the eye. thats just classic. His daughter meanwhile was rolling on the floor laughing behind him.

I have 3 comments to your statement mdb...

One I have worked way to hard to get where I am to screw it by dicking around with a minor.

Two as much as I love hot girls, I am more scared of the fact that dad would be there to kick my ass. Because if I was a father it would make my day to throw out some deush who came uninvited into my house, the daughters invitation counts for nothing when she invites you back to the parents house without making the parents aware of it.

Three, I dunno but even at 22 I have the moral fortitude that I would not sneek into her parents house to get some like that. I would not feel right. I would want to meet the parents and show them I am not a scumbag like so many guys are and then with there permission hang out in her room, providing the girl is of age, or if she is not then I won't be doing what I shouldnt be.

I remember when I was 16, 17 and in high school. I was a dumbass. I grew up a lot when I went to college, but the biggest part about this is the guy was a sleezebag and did not meet the parents.

19 and 17 does not constitute statuatory rape. Depending on their DOBs, they could be as little as 13 months apart.

We don't know that he "snuck around" anywhere.

Did he deserve an ass whupping? Sure. i would buy that. Beat him till he can't walk. But shooting him? Nope.

Dub · 08-20-2007, 10:47

O I def. agree on the shooting part bud! That was obviously way too much.

In this case maybe not, in some states yes it does in fact constitute statutory rape.

Get your facts straight.

Let me clarify one thing... to me sneeking into the parents house is equally as wrong as walking right into it when they are not home or however you find your way into their daughter's room without their prior knowledge. Maybe my etiquette is just out of style. But I think not.
