Sex Offender Felled by Sponge Balls

Seems sex offenders are impervious to everything but sponge balls.  Luckily, police from Guilford and Branford knew of this weakness when they were called to a disturbance on Tuesday. 

From the New Haven Register:

GUILFORD — A registered sex offender arrested Tuesday in a domestic violence dispute was arraigned in his hospital room Wednesday by a group of court personnel and held in lieu of $250,000 bail.

Gerald Ignatowski, 57, of Wauwinet Trail, was arraigned at Yale-New Haven Hospital where he was taken after allegedly threatening a girlfriend with a gun and being shot in the chest by police using a weapon that fires a sponge ball, Deputy Chief Jeffrey Hutchinson said.
