Fraser Man Mistakes Game Of Monopoly For Mafia Wars

Posted by: Tristan

Just because the game of Monopoly is based on Atlantic City doesn’t give its players free reign to imitate some of the city’s more Italian residents. If one is looking to use violence and intimidation to facilitate the acquisition of property then one should consider playing Web 2.0′s most popular pastimes, Mafia Wars rather than trying to introduce it to more traditional board games. Case in point:

A friendly game of Monopoly turned ugly when a Fraser man hit a friend in the side of the head and knocked her off a chair, knocking off her glasses, when she refused to sell him Boardwalk and Park Place, Fraser police said.

Kenneth Reppke, 54, of Fraser was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in the incident Saturday at a home in the 15000 block of Van, Public Safety Lt. Dan Kolke said.

Once Mr. Reppke has gotten out of the joint, he may have made some friends who could get him in touch with a Don with need of his talents and tactics.
