SARASOTA (NewsCore) - A homeless Florida man was decapitated in a spat over spilled barbecue food.
Stephen Webber, 53, was barbecuing steaks and drinking rum with two other homeless men in a wooded area in Sarasota when he knocked the grill over, enraging Ricky Leer.
Leer, 48, grabbed a machete -- and began chopping at Webber's head and "would not let him up."
The third man fled the murder scene early Tuesday and called 911, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.
Authorities found Leer near the crime scene, leaning against a tree drinking rum.
He was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder.
