Man beaten with his own leg

AoS, sorry if this isn’t appropriate - delete away if you must.
This is down the middle of the fairway for SAST.
’Tis but a flesh wound, come back here coward!
Ever want to yank off someone’s leg and beat them over the head with it? A Virginia man may have done just that. Police in Fredericksburg have charged Rodney Prophitt, 27, with pulling off his neighbor’s prosthetic limb and then striking him with it, reports The Free Lance-Star. The whole thing started Wednesday evening when Michael Clapp, 38, found a bottle of medicine missing from his apartment. He immediately suspected Prophitt and went next door to ask him about it. Prophitt responded by knocking Clapp to the floor, then tugging off Clapp’s fake leg and hitting him with it. "At some point," city police spokesman Jim Shelhorse told the newspaper, "Mr. Clapp was able to grab his leg back, get back to his apartment and call 911." Clapp went to the hospital with a broken nose. Prophitt was charged with felonious assault and petty larceny. Shelhorse didn’t know what kind of medicine was taken or why Clapp had an artificial leg.
Umm....because he’s missing a real one?
