TEMECULA, Calif. -- An angry father is accused of using a stun gun on a 23 year old man who sent his 17 year old daughter an explicit cell phone picture.
William Atwood Sr., 45, was charged Wednesday with multiple felonies in connection with the case.
Authorities say Atwood lured Justin Moore to his home, ordered him to strip down to his boxer shorts, and tied him up and tased him with a stun gun before turning him over to a sheriff's deputy.
Moore told authorities he sent a photo of his genitals to several friends, including Atwood's daughter, as a joke.
Atwood apparently didn't think the joke was funny when his daughter told him about the picture in January.
According to court records, Atwood called the Sheriff's Department saying that Moore sent pornography to a child.
Before detectives could investigate the claim, Atwood told deputies that Moore came to his home uninvited.
He admitted telling Moore to take off his clothes and says he bound his wrists and ankles with zip ties.
Deputies found Moore at Atwood's home naked, tied up and extremely frightened.
Moore tells a different story. He says that Atwood called him and asked him to come over to discuss the photo. When he arrived, Atwood was holding a shotgun, Moore told officials.
He says Atwood ordered him out of his car and fired a shot. Atwood pulled him off the ground by his feet, injuring his shoulder, according to Moore.
Atwood told Moore he had connections with the Pechanga tribe and was going to have him buried on the reservation, court records say.
Moore said he believed that Atwood was going to kill him.
A short time later, Atwood pulled out a handgun and a stun gun.

Ha, Ha! I have not seen that statement in over 20 years. It is a real keeper.
Hi tech redneck. Old Skool would have been a bull prod. Seen it done, more than once.
It took my daughters to have teen age daughters of their own for them to FULLY realize why MY house was the only house on the block with teen age girls that didn’t have a stream of young lads around, NEVER got TP’d, windows NEVER soaped up, cars in yard never messed with etc etc.
They kind of figured (rightly so) that I was not only crazy, but was also armed and dangerous and probably the only non pencil pushing parent in the neighborhood- - I never really bothered to check, it added to my mystique.
Also the teen age boys behavior ‘counted’ as to who I would hire for summer jobs.
Ah, life was good then, just didn’t realize it ... ha...
My neighbor always makes sure he’s cleaning his guns when any guys come in to pick up his daughter for a date.
“Deputies found Moore at Atwood’s home naked, tied up and extremely frightened.”
I’ll bet his porn sending days are over!
It’s a shame Atwood may have ruined his on life to protect his daughter. Moore should man up & not press charges.
Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe...Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid
You sound like me.
Years ago at our oldest daughter's engagement party at out house I pulled my future SIL aside and whispered in his ear.
"(Her Name) is still my little baby. And if you ever hurt her in any way, I will hunt you down and kill you.""That aside, welcome to the family"
Now I thought I had 'whispered', but one of our old, old, friends form the wife and my teenage days overheard me. She told me it was 'good advice' and I did the right thing :-)
And as things would have it, our SIL is a great guy. Hs a good job (some kind of Computer System Admin or Tech) and treats her like a princess. And now we have three lovely grandchildren. Plus he's no sissy - he knows Karate, studied Filipino Knife Fighting, Samurai Sword Fighting, and collects Samurai Swords. And he can handle a gun too.
But he still knows I meant what I said many years ago.
Rock salt is pretty much useless in a shotgun as far as bothering anyone.

Here lies Less Moore
Four slugs from a .44
No less
No more
From before America became sissified ..............
But vigilantism goes against our criminal justice system. Which is why the father now has to be punished...not for why he did it but because the system doesnt work when people take the law in their own hands.
Think about this for a second...what if Mr. Atwood here accidently killed this kid in the process of threatning him? He won’t be protecting his daughter anymore. He’ll be in prison the rest of his life.
I have two daughters, and have been known to answer the door in my shirtsleeves while wearing my well-filled shoulder holster.
The husband of one of my girls (and now father of three great grandkids) is the one who said,
"Good evening, Sir! Wow! Is that a HK P7? M8? Could I show you the 1911 I'm working on some time?"
I’ve updated my copy of that to change Rule 10 to the desert and Gulf War Syndrome but other than that, it’s still fresh and useful.
That's what a shovel is for. I would think killing this guy was a bit excessive, but only a bit.
Old School to the bone.
Give him a medal.
Rock salt in a shot gun is not for killing...it’s for STINGING. Watch the video and then go outside and let a friend shoot you with it at 10 yards and then you will find out what it really does.
I know what it does from testing. At 10 yards it will do nothing at all unless it gets in the perp’s eyes.
Besides, the perp might have a gun with actual rounds in it.
It is the height of foolishness to point a shotgun loaded with rock salt at a person. On several levels.
If you point one at me, the return fire will lead based...
Are any of those grandchildren granddaughters?
Here's hoping you live to see your Samurai SIL pull some young man aside and whisper some "advice" ...
Rule for dating Chuck Norriss’ daughter:
Don’t.
I always figured it scared the piss out of them than anything.
>>As the father of two daughters, where is the crime?<<
