Man charged with murdering stepfather by giving him an atomic wedgie

A former marine is facing a murder charge for killing his stepfather with underwear, investigators say. Thirty-three-year-old Brad Davis is accused of suffocating his stepfather during a fight days before Christmas in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.



Investigators say both men were drinking at the home near McLoud Dec. 21 when Davis' stepfather, Denver St. Clair, spoke "ill of Davis' mother." According to an affidavit, Davis claims his stepfather "swung first," then Davis fought back, giving his stepfather an "atomic wedgie." Davis said after the fight his stepfather stopped breathing.



Davis called 911 and St. Clair was deceased by the time officers arrived at the scene. According to the affidavit, St. Clair had multiple blunt force injuries to his face and his "elastic underwear waistband had been stretched up over his head," leaving a ligature mark around his neck. Blood was found in the living room and kitchen areas.

Investigators say Davis admitted hitting St. Clair several times until St. Clair lost consciousness.  It was then, according to the affidavit, that Davis "grabbed St. Clair's underwear and gave him an 'atomic wedgie'." On Dec. 27, the state medical examiner determined St. Clair died of blunt force trauma and/or asphyxiation. Davis was booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail where a judge ordered him held without bond for first-degree murder.
