Upon visiting a local sports bar, a San Antonio man made a new friend and invited him home to play videogames. Unfortunately the man’s new friend, a “self-proclaimed” mixed martial arts fighter, allegedly beat up the friendly gamer and robbed him.
Patrick Lockhart (pictured) was eventually arrested after his victim picked him out of a lineup.

The victim suffered a broken jaw and black eye, in addition to having $2,000 in cash and his television stolen.
Lockhart was charged with aggravated robbery.
The potential moral to the story? It’s probably safer to play games on PSN or XBL rather than in person with strangers.
