Man Uses BB Gun To Force Teen To Exercise

(Undated) -- A Florida man probably won't be selling copies of his workout plan on DVD. The "Orlando Sentinel" is reporting that Robert Lynn Barker was arrested last Saturday after he forced a 13-year-old boy to exercise in intense heat. Barker was allegedly firing the boy's pellet gun into the air in an effort to provide a little motivation. The teen told authorities he feared Barker would shoot him with the weapon if he stopped working out. Someone eventually witnessed Barker's bizarre training program and called the police, who subsequently arrested the 41-year-old on charges of child abuse and aggravated assault. Barker has since been released from the Lake County Jail after posting bond.
