What follows is a surreal standoff involving:
- A walker-wielding old man
- A boar eating glass in the living room
- Deputies trying to lasso the beast
- A cop screaming and fleeing the scene
- And a boar that’s still on the loose

character of old man. Let's go to the news in Florida.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
In his quiet neighborhood, Edward Wells was doing a puzzle
pad when his dog Bailey came charging into that.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
First of all, does that mean that's a pretty hip
old man? You know? Because the old man, I know
that new puzzles are definitely still doing it out of
the newspaper. Are on one of those books that you
get at the dollar store for a dollar that he
might take with you on a plane. I never had that.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I immediately thought jigsaw.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Puzzle, Yeah, okay. Other thought I was doing like Sudoku
or some type of fine crossword maybe, but on his iPad,
So good for him.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Puzzle on his iPad.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
When his dog Bailey came charging into the house trailing blood.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
And suddenly an explosion louder shotgun, and I thought maybe
we've been promound. But then suddenly the huge black thing
which right here.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
That thing.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
A wild boar, which ran right into the sliding glass store.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Okay, there's more here, but what are your thoughts so far?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So they're playing sound effects on the news, Oh okay.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I was like, wow, this is a great, strangest newscast
I've ever heard. So it's basically like a razorback just
ran through a glass window. Yeah, so did it kick
its dog's ass before that would happened?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
A little bite?
Speaker 7 (01:47):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah? I mean those things will tear you up.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
An explosion, louder shotgun, and I maybe we've been promound.
But then suddenly the huge black thing was right here.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That thing.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
A wild boar, which ran right into the sliding glass store.
Wells tried to go up to it with his walker,
but he says, the boy turned and tried to attack him.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
And he stood there for what half hour? Forty five minutes?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know, Tim stood there time out. I don't
I don't like any of this. Hold.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
He tried to approach it with his walker, but then
the wild razorback bore looked like it was going to
charge him. Then there was a thirty to forty five
minutes stand off and stare down.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I also, I'm confused.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Earlier after the explosion or the shotgun to he say,
it sounds like we've been rewound. No, we've been bombed.
Oh okay, yeah, I don't speak old man, so I
couldn't understand his words.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, he said bombed talking.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Maybe maybe we've been pound But then I think they'd
been rewound, and I thought maybe.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
We've bed.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Maybe we've been rewound. What is that man saying? How
our surge of Corey Seeker? That is very biden? Oh man?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
How he never recovered from the forty five minute stare
down with the wild boar in his.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Kitchen, And I thought, maybe we.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
May now maybe you kind of had a Kinseler moment
like that.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, so the standoff's happening, and as we all know,
wild boars are affectionate creatures. Though probably said, you know what,
we don't want to do this to this old man.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
What half hour, forty five minutes, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Stood there eating glass as well as.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
That would be the lead. It was a wild boar
just came in and eat was eating glass anything. This
is why you don't dig on swine. Those things will
eat anything.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Eating glass as well as waiting for deputies to come.
He says when deputies tried to last, so the or
it torded at them and even chased one out the door.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
The boar escaped.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The cop shows up.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
One guy's trying to rope it.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
He can't rope it, and then he chases the other
cops and goes, wait, sure, don't shoot.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Your gun out, blowing up in the guy's living room.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
The police showed up and they rushed into this thirty
five minute forty five minutes showdown where they're staring at
each other.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The boar was sitting still. I was eating glass. Yeah,
he stopped staring down. The man was eating glass.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
And then when the board charged the cop, he ran
right by the old man at the walker. He just
soared right by him and chased the other the deputy
Gilder or whatever the guy's name is.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
After the cob runs out the door. Yeah, or the
boar escaped and is still on the loose.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
But if anybody you know she's this creature, I would
see just she should stay away from it, you know,
because it isn't friendly and they don't like people.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Man, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
And that's big finish.

anything but stand still and eat glad. Yeah, it's people
corralling it. It's fine with people with walkers trying to
rope it, and how is it gonna be okay? After
it sat there and ate glass for forty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
As for his dog, Bailey, he's okay, but he had
to get stitches. Well, just back to playing his puzzles,
hoping that running through the door.
