Cocaine Courtesy Call Turns Criminal

It appears that in Arizona, saying “no, thanks” is fighting talk now.

Police say Arizona’s Samuel Sedgwick walked into a neighbor’s apartment uninvited and offered cocaine. They declined. He allegedly called that “offensive to his culture.”

According to investigators, he peeled off his shirt and started beating a resident. Another occupant, afraid the man would die, intervened with a claw hammer.

Then, police say, Sedgwick pulled a gun, pistol-whipped the victim, and pepper-sprayed the apartment.

But there’s more.

Back home, he reportedly noticed a chipped tooth, and allegedly returned to fire multiple rounds at the apartment.

His getaway vehicle? A bicycle.

Police caught him pedaling away. The victim needed hospital treatment; Sedgwick faces multiple felony charges.

All because somebody passed on the party favors.
