The greatest news story ever...

Igor Writes-

I swear I'm not making this up.

A Staten Island homeless man was arrested in late June and is being held on bail for $2,500.

What was his crime? I'll let the article tell the story.

Potts is accused of savagely attacking a peacock outside the Burger King at Page Avenue and Amboy Road in Tottenville on the morning of June 28. The defendant allegedly thought he was slaying a vampire that "came out of the darkness" even though the attack occurred in broad daylight.

Yes, you read that correctly. He mistook a peacock for a vampire coming out the the darkness. In the middle of the day. Wow. But there is more to it.

A few days after the incident, the man was in a confrontation with his stepfather, then ran down the street with a shovel, shouting that he had the bubonic plague.

Can't make these things up, folks.
