Bath Salts Contributed To The Murder And Possible Rape Of A Goat
A man named Mark Thompson decided to go on a three-day bath salt binge in his home in Alum Creek, West Virginia, in May 2011, and it went about as horriblly as could be expected. Thompson got a hold of his neighbor’s pygmy goat, brought it into his home, stabbed it in its neck, and is believed to have sodomized it.
When the neighbors entered his home, they found Thompson wearing a bra and no pants, and with blood everywhere. Next to the dead goat were pornographic images. Thompson bolted out the front door and was later found in the woods by police.
Flakka Morphed A Man Into The God Thor And Made Him Have Sex With A Tree
Not only did Kenneth Crowder (42) of Melbourne, Florida, get high on flakka and proudly declare himself the god Thor - he also tried to have sex with a tree, attacked a cop, and was seen running naked through the streets. The police officer who got stuck with this sh*t show tried tasing him, but the almighty Thor plucked the electric probes from his body and started beating the officer.
Then he took the cop’s own badge from him and tried to stab him with it. The officer was finally able to knock him down and get him in cuffs.
On May 26, 2012 a 31-year old naked homeless man named Rudy Eugene was discovered chowing down on another man’s face in broad daylight. The victim, another homeless man named Ronald Poppo, had about 75 percent of his face chewed off (including his eyebrows, his nose, parts of his forehead and cheek, and his left eye) before police ordered Eugene to stop. Eugene just growled at the officers, who were forced to shoot him four times before he finally went down. One witness described the gruesome scene to ABC News: "The forehead was just bone, no nose, no mouth."
Investigators claimed Eugene's behavior was consistent with flakka use, but initial toxicology reports found only cannabis in his system. However, many experts continue to believe he was on flakka or a related bath salts-type drug, and say that municipal toxicology labs are not yet equipped to test for many new, synthetic drugs.
A Naked Guy On Flakka Rode A Train Bridge 150 Feet In The Air
Captain Dana Swisher of the Fort Lauderdale Police Department received a call about a naked man swimming in the New River. Apparently, after taking flakka, the homeless man decided to climb up a railroad drawbridge and rode it up in the air, about 150 feet - seemingly unfazed by its 115-degree temperature of the metal bridge that morning.
He was naked, paranoid, and didn't seem to want to be rescued. It took about two hours to finally get him down safely. Swisher reported, "We actually had to have fire rescue climb up there and basically tie him to the bridge with the firefighters so they could lower the bridge and take him off."
A 19-Year-Old Crashed Through A Family’s Window Like A Rabid Kool Aid Man
19-year old Nico Gallo of Stuart, Florida, got high on flakka and then flipped out on his innocent neighbors. He tried kicking in their front door and when that didn’t work, he “cannon-balled” himself through the plate-glass front window. Since flakka makes both physical pain and mental sanity non-existent, Gallo was able to get up, dust the glass shards off, and attack the 55-year-old woman who lived there and her son without missing a beat.
Luckily, Gallo was distracted with the son long enough for the woman to grab a metal baseball bat to beat him in the head and subdue him until the police showed up to cart him off.
In March 2015, Shanard Neely of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, told police that he’d smoked flakka, then made a mad dash for the fence surrounding the police department. Surveillance video captured Neely’s attempt to scale the ten-foot spiked fence that ended with him falling on one of the spikes, impaling himself. The spike went straight through his thigh up near his groin and came out the other side of his buttocks.
Neely was stuck dangling there for 20 minutes while a fire rescue team cut away the fence and transported him to Broward Health Medical Center to have the spike surgically removed and stop the bleeding. He survived the procedure (miraculously enough) but was held for psychological evaluations.
In Bethlehem, PA, in September 2016, three friends decided to go on a flakka binge for several days - and of course it ended in death and insanity. Apparently 30-year old James Heimbach and 27-year-old Joseph Goda flipped on each other after snorting flakka. According to Heimbach, Goda just pounced and started punching him, gnawing on his hands, and even tried biting his face. Heimbach managed to break away but didn’t remember what happened after that. Evidently, when police found Heimbach, he was wandering the streets in his underwear and screaming at cars.
Luckily, the third friend in attendance, Charles Yocum (32), was able to fill in the blanks. Heimbach didn't just "get away;" he turned around and bludgeoned his attacker to death with a shotgun. Yocum witnessed the entire thing and even admitted to helping with Goda's body, which they rolled up in a carpet and stuffed in the trunk of Yocum's mother's car.
They’d planned to dump the body in the ocean but decided to just keep snorting flakka instead. Police found the the bloodied, putrid-smelling vehicle abandoned in the East Stroudsburg parking lot.
In November 2010, 21-year-old dikkie Sanders snorted a pack of Cloud 9 bath salts and and in his drug-induced paranoia he became convinced the police were after him. He grabbed a butcher knife and slit his own throat from ear to ear right in front of his father and sister. "I just want this stuff out of me,'' he told his father over and over. Sanders didn’t slice through any major arteries and his father, a doctor, was able to stop the bleeding and save his son.
But as Sanders continued to trip over several days, he became increasingly erratic, eventually sticking a .22-caliber youth rifle in his mouth and pulling the trigger. He died just a couple weeks before his 22nd birthday.
