Utah man says his friend told him he could dodge bullets after smoking weed (he could not)

Feb 4, 2025

It's one of the most iconic movie scenes of all times. And we've all had dreams about being able to move like this.

But I don't think I need to tell most of y'all that if you do try it, you will almost certainly get, you know, shot.

Out of Salt Lake City:

A man was arrested for manslaughter after allegedly smoking marijuana with a friend and shooting him after the friend said he could 'dodge a bullet,' according to arrest documents.

Ashton Jonathan Mann, 23, was arrested just after 4 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 2, on one count of second-degree felony manslaughter and one third-degree felony charge related to firearms.

Apparently these two fellows got high and began handling guns. One of them boasted that he could "dodge a bullet." And the results were, sadly, predictable:

Mann told officials he and his friend unloaded each gun before he pointed a firearm at the victim and pulled the trigger, with his friend trying to 'jump out of the way to prove he could move before the trigger was pulled.' Mann told officials they repeated that about six times.

'[Mann] said the final time the gun fired striking [the victim] in the chest,' arrest documents said.

Gee, I wonder what clouded their minds and made them do this stupid stunt?

Authorities came to the scene and "found two handguns, as well as ammunition and magazines," as well as "drug paraphernalia consistent with marijuana use."

Welp.
