Criminals get in the Halloween spirit

When you walk into almost any store, you find candy, masks and fake cobwebs. That can only mean one thing: it’s almost Christmas! But before we can celebrate that, we have a lesser-known holiday called Halloween, where everyone dresses up and there’s some general spookiness. Not in the spirit yet? We’ll fix that.

A 76-year-old man in Pennsylvania is currently in custody after, according to police, he attacked his roommate with a chainsaw. The man cut through a door and then swung the chainsaw at his roommate, they say. Somehow, the chainsaw got caught on the roommate’s shirt, which also somehow allowed him to pin his attacker with an umbrella. Spooky!

Not enough?

In New Jersey, they still haven’t quite figured out that PCP is a really bad thing. Cops over there say that a 29-year-old man, high on the drug, stripped naked in the middle of a busy intersection and started attacking cars, even hopping on the hood of one car, and trying to pull the driver out which piqued their interest. Once arrested, he tried to gnaw his way out of handcuffs, defecated in the the back of a cop car, and then bit off and swallowed his own finger in jail.

Now you’re spooked.
