Wacko weekend off topic -- man fires gun at toilet. March 19, 1999 Man Shoots Slow-Flushing Toilet Filed at 8:57 p.m. EST By The Associated Press SCHERERVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- An intoxicated man angered by a slow-flushing toilet at a restaurant shot it to pieces with his semi-automatic handgun after a night of St. Patrick's Day reveling, police said. ''He told investigators the toilet didn't flush fast enough for him, so he fired it up. No one was injured. Fortunately, he was in the bathroom by himself. He was highly intoxicated,'' Detective Sgt. Michael Ison said. Raymond A. Cruz, 49, was arrested after the incident early Thursday morning. He was charged with criminal recklessness with a handgun, a felony, and resisting law enforcement, a misdemeanor. Ison said Cruz, who had a permit to carry the handgun, refused to surrender his .40-caliber Beretta to police. Cruz's blood-alcohol content was 0.18 percent, nearly twice the legal driving limit in Indiana, Ison said. Schererville is about 20 miles southeast of Chicago.
