After being cuffed and placed in a cruiser, Wach asked why he was being arrested, according to a Martin County Sheriff's Office report. After being provided with an explanation by a deputy, Wach claimed that he “shoots in the yard all the time.”
And, as for fighting with his 18-year-old son, Wach remarked that, “fighting is what redneck people do.”
