Incensed when two teenagers ignored his demands to pull up their saggy pants, a Memphis man allegedly shot one of the youths in the back, according to police.
Kenneth Bonds was arrested Saturday night and charged with two counts of aggravated assault and jailed on $25,000 bond. Bonds, 45, is pictured in the mug shot at right.
Investigators contend that Bonds admitted to shooting Cameron Tucker, 17, following a September 25 argument on a Memphis sidewalk. The teenager was accompanied by Isaac Taylor, a 16-year-old friend.
Tucker told cops that he and Taylor were walking to a candy store when Bonds “began yelling at them to pull their pants up,” according to a Memphis Police Department arrest warrant affidavit. “Bonds got angry when Tucker and Taylor refused and that’s when the three got into a heated argument,” reported police.
At that point, Bonds allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired a shot at the older boy. The shot missed, but as the boys fled, Bonds continued firing at them. One bullet hit the 17-year-old in the buttocks and exited through his thigh (the boy was treated for the wound at two different hospitals).
A witness, Percy Chalmers, told cops that he saw Bonds “pull a large black semi auto handgun from his waist band” and fire several shots. Both Tucker and Taylor were able to identify Bonds in a photo spread prepared by Memphis police.
When contacted by phone, Bonds reportedly “admitted to shooting Cameron Tucker after an argument,” according to the police affidavit. Bonds was scheduled to be arraigned this morning on the felony counts.
Sounds like we have the follow-up to Pants on the Ground.
Bullet in the butt
Bullet in the butt
Lookin’ like a fool
With a bullet in your butt
Dirty Harry joins the fashion police.
They look like they were dressed by a monkey. Oh wait ...
Midwest interpretation (my BIL is a prison guard in MI): Pants worn below the butt indicates his sexual services are protected by his “daddy” (who usually has a “harem”).
You have GOT to be kidding! That really takes the cake. I mean, I never would have asked the question. So, they wear undies, then wear the colorful boxers over the undies and THEN the pants? Well, that makes me feel better about the e-coli issues but it is still really tacky.
BTW, if I were on Kenneth’s jury, I would not convict. Bravo, Bro!
My old man used to always have a few 12 g shells around that he had removed the buckshot from.
And replaced them with rock salt...
There wasn’t too many stray dogs or coons around our house!
And I’ll bet the shot in the buttocks did not leave a hole in the pants.
Peeing in the radiator...

Ah the negro turban. Whenever I don’t think I will get assaulted for it, I like to refer to the silly getups as costumes.
If you wear boxers, it's because you love the thrill of the chase ...
Nope. He's now a victim, protected by law from any further harassment.
*We can treat your thigh wound, but we do not do butts. You will have to go to another facility for the hole in your butt. /s
I did make it up for telling teenagers. It seemed a possible truth and I expected anyone doing so might quickly find out they were advertising regardless of their intentions.
I also expected the giggling from teenage girls to be more effective than complaints from grumpy adults.
Kenneth Bonds must be black. Otherwise, we’d be hearing talk about hate crime.
I gave up on grumpy.
Now I just go straight to icy cold and venomous.
I always thought those were an attempt to make the hairnets that busboys and dishwashers have to wear look stylish.
