[QUOTE="KeatonsCorner, post: 129267092, member: 1348700"] Uh, it appears the elderly man got off easy with this nut job........ A Fort Worth firefighter arrested earlier this month on a murder charge in Arkansas was the target of a robbery attempt, and authorities will not pursue any charges against him, a prosecutor said Monday. Garland County, Ark., prosecuting attorney Steve Oliver said that the murder charge against Shea O'Neill, 40, of Benbrook was dismissed Friday. "He acted in self-defense," Oliver said Monday. "They had planned to rob him." O'Neill was beaten over the head in the Nov. 8 attack near Hot Springs, Ark., that left Eston Hogue, 23, of Hot Springs dead. O'Neill was initially arrested and charged in the fatal stabbing of Hogue. But Garland County sheriff's deputies now believe that Hogue, Anthony Thomas, 28, and Sally Jackson, 24, conspired to rob O'Neill. Authorities arrested Thomas on Thursday and Jackson on Saturday. With no charges against O'Neill, an internal investigation by the Fort Worth Fire Department has been closed, spokesman Tim Hardeman said in a Monday news release. "Firefighter O'Neill is assigned to an administrative position until he returns to work," Hardeman said. [/QUOTE]
