Today's fun headline: Stripper's dad accused of going on rampage at club:

WICHITA FALLS -- A man upset that his daughter was working at a strip club was arrested after allegedly going on a rampage in the building, destroying furniture and carrying what appeared to be a pipe bomb, authorities said.

Lee Wayne Lawrence, 41, was dressed in survival gear when he was taken into custody unharmed at Maximus after police persuaded him to surrender Saturday night, authorities said.

He was charged with aggravated assault and was being held Monday morning in Wichita County Jail on $500,000 bond, a jail spokesman said.

Lawrence damaged two 7-foot-tall bubble water lamps and a leopard skin chair and stabbed three tables tops with a knife, according to a police report. Authorities said they were analyzing whether another device he carried actually was a bomb

"And they water down the drinks, too!" he was not quoted as saying while being carted away.
