Teen with droopy drawers gets shot

0624081inside2 John Constantin (left) sure taught David Mitchell a sartorial lesson in Jacksonville over the weekend.

Constantin saw Mitchell, 18, walking around with his pants sagging below his underwear. The older man tried ordering the teen to pull up his knickers.

Mitchell refused, and the two men got into a scuffle. Constantin pulled out a gun and fired twice, shooting Mitchell in the stomach.

On the way to the police station, Constantin told officers "this is bullshit...I was just protecting myself." He's charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. And, oh yeah, the rock of crack that cops found in his pocket will also likely net him a drug charge.   

The Smoking Gun has more details from the arrest report.

cracker jim has a problem with grammer.

Anyway, this guy was looking for trouble when he was harassing this teen. He provoked this teenager and shot him for it. Now he's using the 'self defense' excuse. This 'fashion police officer' is pretty much screwed with the assault charges along with drug possession.
