MARION COUNTY, Fla. -- A man has been arrested for fatally beating his roommate with a sledgehammer and a claw hammer because there was no toilet tissue in the home, authorities said.

Franklin Paul Crow, 56, has been charged Monday with homicide for the death of Kenneth Matthews, 58, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

Crow told investigators that the men were fighting over the weekend about the toilet tissue when Matthews pulled out a rifle. Crow said he then began beating Matthews with the sledgehammer and claw hammer, according to an affidavit.

Capt. Thomas Bibb said Crow initially denied his involvement with the crime, but confessed when questioned.

Matthews was beaten so badly he had to be identified through his fingerprints, detectives said.

Crow was being held at the Marion County jail without bond. It was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Boy, somebody has some anger issues to resolve.

I think it is safe to say Mr. Crow drove the point home. Repeatedly.

this just demostrates the importance of toilet paper in our lives and the kind of anarchy and lawlessness that results when one is deprived of toilet paper and forced to use alternative methods and materials.

hey come on, who has never been stuck in the bathroom and didn't think about kicking someones a** with a claw hammer. so serious anger issues need to be worked out.

To kill someone over that, that is childish and stupid. Why would anyone do something like that. That person was not thinking logically, I would not do something like that.
