INVERNESS - An Inverness man was arrested Saturday after breaking into his neighbors' house and threatening them, shocking himself by sticking his fingers into a lamp socket, threatening a deputy with a metal rod, running naked through his yard and chewing through a cable in a patrol car, authorities said.

Authorities arrested Shyne Harris Phelps, 39, of 2510 Jupiter St., at 1:45 a.m., on charges of kidnapping, burglary of a dwelling, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with intent to commit a felony, resisting an officer with violence, battery and criminal mischief, an arrest report said.

Deputies were called to a home on East Dawson Drive, just behind Beall's, at 1:35 a.m. after getting a call of a burglary in progress.

Okay, arasina asked for more bizarre stuff, so here we go... :-)

Anyone who wants to be added to this ping list should just say, "Yo!"

My guess is meth, and/or PCP .

I think that PCP is more like it because it was used as an animal traquiliser. Either way, this is one call that these cops will discuss for a long, long time.

Are we getting this flood of weird reports from FL because of reporters stay there after the Terri case?... Florida is still too dangerous to even drive through on the way to somewhere else!

Rabies outbreak in Florida?

I guess that this wanted to "let his freak flag fly."

[Army Air Corps]

From the article;

The man came in through the back door, they said, and grabbed them and shouted, "It is time for you to die."
As he tried to force one of the family members out of the home, one of the victims shot him with a Taser.
That just caused the intruder to demand to be shocked some more. He grabbed a lamp, unscrewed the bulb and stuck his fingers in, shocking himself and yelling.

This nutball's lucky he didn't get ventilated instead of just Tazered when he broke into these peoples home...and the Tazer MIGHT have worked better if they'd aimed for a softer spot!

Then again, maybe not. Sounds like he was hopped up on something, or maybe he was just tired of living with the name 'Shyne'! :)

You said it! Imagine this happening in some place like Houston, Dallas, Pasadena, San Antonio, etc. The story would have likely ended with the nut being wheeled out of the house on a gurney.

Oh my!

Its nt just the freakish behaviour that is astounding; look at the list of charges that this dude accumulated. Maybe he was in a contest...

I normally have more to say, but this just leaves me speechless.

[Army Air Corps]

Indeed! This is one of those incidents where you stare in amazement at the monitor and mutter to yourself, "what the hell is this?!" I had to double check to make certain that this wasn't some sort of a joke.

sounds like some one forgot to take their medications...
