Gene Atkins has a unique and diverse rap sheet. He was charged and later acquitted of firebombing a business associate.
He later was arrested after his wife called the police claiming Atkins had pushed her against a wall, beat her with a remote control and bit her. The police arrived to find him barricaded in his house. When told he was under arrest, Atkins disagreed by saying, "No, I am not," and then punching the officer in the throat.
