A man accused of stabbing a supermarket worker with a pair of scissors told police he was a pirate from 1776.
Police say they arrested Joseph Pradel after he stabbed Jacque Vino, an employee at Weis Market in Plains Township, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday.
And according to police, who say Pradel was under the influence of a controlled substance at the time, the suspect told them that he was a pirate who had come to America on the Santa Maria in 1776.
When asked if he regretted his alleged actions by a WNEP reported, Pradel replied:
Nah.
Court papers say Mr Vino was stocking shelves early in the morning when he noticed Pradel with a pair of scissors in each hand. Investigators say the employee then starting following Pradel, who suddenly turned around and stabbed him in the shoulder and arm.
Arriving police said they took four officers to pin Pradel down.
I am shocked. I am shocked at what happened, said Susan Broody, a regular customer at Weis.

I am surprised he said “nah” instead of “arrrgghh.”

Something doesn't sound right here. The Santa Maria ran aground in 1492 and was turned into a fort. If he really came here on it in 1776 that's 284 years at sea. In a fort. Wouldn't the scissors be rusty by now?

His grasp of piracy is about as strong as his grasp of history.

This man is not living in the same world that we live in. He must have thrown his pills away again. A little time in confinement will wipe the smirk off of his face.

Not necessarily. The voices in his head may just tell him he’s been taken to the palace of the King of the Potato People.
