A man was arrested for manslaughter after allegedly smoking marijuana with a friend and shooting him after the friend said he could “dodge a bullet,” according to arrest documents.
Ashton Jonathan Mann, 23, was arrested just after 4 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 2, on one count of second-degree felony manslaughter and one third-degree felony charge related to firearms.

In an interview with detectives, after he was read his Miranda rights, Mann reportedly told officials he and his friend had smoked marijuana around 8 p.m., and were talking about guns in the kitchen.
Mann and his friend later went into the detached garage to continue their conversation. They were reportedly handling two different handguns when the victim “said he can dodge a bullet,” documents said.
Mann told officials he and his friend unloaded each gun before he pointed a firearm at the victim and pulled the trigger, with his friend trying to “jump out of the way to prove he could move before the trigger was pulled.” Mann told officials they repeated that about six times.
“[Mann] said the final time the gun fired striking [the victim] in the chest,” arrest documents said.
That’s a tragedy he’ll regret for the rest of his life. Does he really need prison?
Cops may be stupid but I don’t think they are stupid enough to believe this story.
You think he made up this whole wild scenario to confess to a crime?
Manslaughter is a lesser charge than murder.
This guy’s did not avoid 5 bullets and got hit on the 6th one. This guy was shot on the first bullet and the 5 bullets were fired into the wall after.
Not saying I’m an expert or anything but in a lot of interrogations detectives will try and get a suspect to admit to a lesser version of events like at least admitting they were present when the person died etc and then work on getting more out of them as more details and forensics are uncovered.
