It's a move school bullies have used for decades on their unfortunate victims. Now, investigators in Oklahoma say a man murdered his stepfather after giving him an 'atomic wedgie' during a fight.

Fox23 in Tulsa reports Davis explained to police that he pulled St. Clair's underwear up over his head.

The medical examiner believes that St. Clair died from asphyxiation due to the "wedgie" and from blunt-force trauma to the head.
