Man Hammers Friend's Skull over Spilt Beer

Gregory Hill is going away for a long time, seven years to be exact, because of his neat-nik tendencies. Well, that and his raging violent temper. Hill, 47, was hosting a soirée feting the Buffalo Sabres, when his buddy, Brian Dudas accidentally spilled some beer on the couch.

This prompted Mr. Hill to bash Dudas's skull in with a claw hammer. Well, actually he just cracked his skull. It seems, however, that Hill's housekeeping enforcement could have been better thought out, because while beer may or may not stain upholstery, blood most certainly will. Of course he could have been angry about the wasting of precious beer. Either way it would seem a social faux pas on Hill's part.

Dudas spent six months in the hospital recovering from his cracked skull, and nobody remembers who won the hockey game.
