Man allegedly admits to killing neighbors at Inland Empire nudist resort over a hot dog​

The man who allegedly killed his neighbors at an Inland Empire nudist resort last August reportedly did so over a hot dog.

Sparks and the Menards did not get along, but as detailed in a court hearing Monday, the final straw was a hot dog, the Press-Enterprise reports.

A fellow inmate at the West Valley Detention Center reported to authorities that Sparks admitted to the killings and disclosed that he brutally beat the couple with a rake, a hoe and a hammer, Redlands police Detective Thomas Williams testified.

“[The other inmate] said Mr. Sparks told him the incident started over a hot dog that Daniel Menard had purchased for him,” Williams said. “He said Mr. Sparks felt that the hot dog was a jab at him, making him feel like he was worth only a dollar hot dog, and that’s what set him off that day.

Sparks also allegedly admitted to the killings in text messages.

When a former coworker checked in on him amid the search at Olive Dell, he confirmed to her that he was the subject of the search and that he planned on killing himself that day. Prosecutors say Sparks tried, but his gun jammed.

“Chopped up my neighbors,” he allegedly wrote. “Didn’t know I had it in me. SNAPPED.”

So somebody gives you something to be nice and you kill them for it, just because you don't like what they gave you and think you deserve something better?

Wow! That’s crazy crazy crazy. This guy deserves to be behind bars. He’s a menace to society. If he can snap like that over his neighbors, who knows what else he could do.

Unless something is missing, sounds like the neighbors who he possibly presumably did not like, brought him something to eat which was nice of them. When I travel between my states, sometimes I don't eat, I might hit a drive thru but often it is a gas station/convenience store. I prefer to get a hot dog, cheddar brat off the roller, warm bun, toppings than any of their dried out, overwarmed forever gluey sandwiches like a chicken sandwich and so on. They are just better and a good price.

However, I thought this was over some boundary line and a tree, not a hot dog, so what is the truth here?
