Drunken federal prison guard shoots finger to remove his wedding ring during fight with wife.

Needless to say, one of the happier outcomes you can imagine when you mix a domestic dispute, alcohol and a handgun. The ring remained on, notwithstanding substantial damage to Alfredo Malespini’s finger. Police say they’d been to the Malespini home “a couple times” for domestic disputes. Police Lt. Steve Caskey said the suspect “had been drinking quite heavily throughout the day and he and his wife had been arguing throughout the day about an affair he had had several months ago.”
