Cooper Camferdam
Definition
Cooper Camferdam (full name: Cooper Riley Camferdam) is an 18-year-old resident of Benton, Arkansas, who became a local news sensation in January 2026 after being arrested for first-degree felony battery. He allegedly stomped on a 20-year-old man during a brawl outside a Hot Springs Circle K gas station, leaving the victim in critical condition.
In a nod to his surname's traditional meaning (a barrel maker), Camferdam's high-profile incident has coopers everywhere distancing themselves from parking-lot pugilism.
