Talladega Mayor Attacked by 71-Year-Old Love Rival
|
 [THEDAILYBEAST] A senior citizen reportedly attacked Talladega's 75-year-old mayor with a baseball bat Saturday--an early bird beating that sent both men to the hospital and that one local attorney claims is Dire Revenge over a sex tape.
Mayor Larry Barton was ready to start his 8 a.m. shift at an Alabama barbershop when he noticed a man in a trench coat waiting for him. Barton said the attacker slugged him in the face when he tried exiting his car.
"He told me he had to kill me," Barton told AL.com from the hospital, where he was being treated for facial injuries Sunday.
| "Ain't no doubt about it," Barton added. "If I hadn't kicked him twice in the balls I'd be dead." |
During the struggle, Barton said he pulled the hood off the suspect to reveal the man's identity. The mayor has fingered the suspect as 71-year-old Benny Green--a friend turned foe and former cohost on Barton's public access television show, In the Interest of the People.
"Ain't no doubt about it," Barton added. "If I hadn't kicked him twice in the balls I'd be dead. If he had been able to get me out of the car it would have been over."
Stewart Springer, a former attorney for Green, said the mayor got what he deserved for supposedly betraying his longtime friend. He told The Daily Beast that Barton was likely attacked because he allegedly bedded Green's wife around the time the couple filed for divorce in 2013. (A message left at Barton's home was not returned. Green's ex-wife declined to comment, and his divorce attorney could not be reached.)
Barton and his buddy's spouse--who currently serves as a giggly cohost on the mayor's TV show--were allegedly caught fornicating on camera in Green's liquor store, Springer said.
