Police say that 52-year-old James
Jugo admitted to them that he beat up his roommate, 56-year-old Benjamin
Calderon, after the two had an argument about the chicken foot at their home at
8722 N 48th Street, on Friday.
According to police, Calderon
had been cooking food and became angry when Jugo took the chicken foot from the frying pan.
had been cooking food and became angry when Jugo took the chicken foot from the frying pan.
The two men fought over the supposed
stolen chicken foot, and the argument eventually came up again later in the
day.
That’s when Jugo says he beat
Calderon, though it’s unclear if the man died immediately from his wounds.
According to the Tampa Bay Times,
Calderon had been a security guard who had fallen on some hard times after
losing his job. He was forced to live out of his car for sometime. He also
lived in a shelter before moving in with Jugo and a female roommate, according
to Calderon’s brother.
Calderon had also had some legal
issues, having been arrested twice on DUI and failure to appear charges.
Jugo, meanwhile, has a more
extensive record. The Times says he’s been arrested 19 times on several
charges, from burglary, and cocaine possession, to probation violation and
possession of a dangerous dog, among others.
Benjamin Calderon leaves behind a
grieving family filed with questions, including his mother and children.
He also leaves behind a sister and
two brothers, including his brother Bolivar, who seemed to recap the whole sad
and weird affair when he said, “No one deserves to die over a chicken foot.”
