Watt says Mitchum told deputies that Townsend threatened him and said other people were coming to crucify her before the attack.

WTF? There has got to be more to this story.

No info on motive or prior association that I could see in the article.

Rough sex gone bad? Lovers quarrel? Random attack?

That could be a sign of a failing relationship right there...

It was only a joke. I wasn't really going to crucify her.

According to the incident report, when deputies arrived on scene, 38-year-old April Dawn Townsend told them she had to release the demons and that she was, “the higher power.”

A woman was found unresponsive on the floor of the home with plastic bags over her head, deputies said. The victim was reportedly not breathing and without a pulse.

The victim was successfully resuscitated by paramedics and law enforcement officials at the scene before being transported to Greenville Memorial Hospital for treatment.
