KVBC in Las Vegas had War Machine featured on their Manhunt Monday page. From the article:
War Machine Still Wanted By Police; Plans To Talk To Them Later
According to Metro, 28-year-old Jonathan Koppenhaver got into a violent fight with his girlfriend and attempted to strangle her.
He also has a record that includes obstructing a police officer and possession of a stolen firearm.
…
Metro says Koppenhaver should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 385-5555.
Of course as he often does, War gives far too much information on his Twitter page. Here is his side of the story (as pieced together from multiple tweets):
Really sick of everyone targeting me all the time. All I ever do is want to have a good time. But it never fails that someone has to fuck with me. Everyone wants their 15 mins of fame and at my cost. When a 6’5’’ 330lb bouncer picks a fight with me and I hit him once and take him down. I’m the bad guy? When a bunch of wanna be mobster porn agent fuckin pimps surround me at a party cussing at me and shit and I am forced into war mode I’m the bad guy? Just because I am tough doesn’t mean I don’t get scared. Giant 300+ pounders intimidate me. Groups of dudes cussing at me and surrounding me intimidate me. I don’t want to get hurt. Wat if the giant dude or the group of men would have smashed me? It easily could have happened. Then they’d be the ones in trouble. So just because I’m capable/lucky enough to win against those odds Im a criminal? That’s bullshit and not right. Just because I’m a pro fighter doesn’t mean I have to lay down and let people hurt me. Everyone will see in the end when I beat my cases because I’m ALLOWED to defend myself that I am not the fucking “monster” I’m a good person. G’nite.
He also went on to say that he plans on talking to police tomorrow to get the situation sorted out. Of course at this point he has been actively avoiding dealing with the situation and has posted several updates that the police will have to find him (which he has since deleted).
There’s more to come on this story I’m sure.
