The man charged with killing his stepfather by administering an "atomic wedgie" will head to jail after pleading guilty to the crime. 

Last January, Brad Davis, 34, was arrested for suffocating 58-year-old Denver Lee St. Clair by pulling his underwear so far over his head, that he was left unable to breathe. According to the Oklahoman, this happened while Davis and St. Clair were fighting in McLoud, Okla. back in 2013: 


In an interview the next day, he told one investigator he gave his stepfather an atomic wedgie after he knocked his stepfather out and the fight was over, according to testimony at the preliminary hearing.


However, in an interview 10 days later, he told another investigator he gave his stepfather the wedgie while they were fighting and then he knocked his stepfather out.


He told investigators the two fought because St. Clair was calling him and his mother worthless. St. Clair had filed for divorce in September.

Davis had originally been charged with first-degree murder, but the Oklahoman reports that prosecutors agreed to knock the charges down to first-degree manslaughter. Still, Davis faces a minimum of four years in prison, and the Oklahoman notes that prosecutors will seek a 35-year sentence. 

He'll be sentenced in July.
