Police are looking for a LaGrange man accused of using a space heater to try to electrocute and strangle his neighbor early Saturday. At around 5:50 a.m., LaGrange police said Alexis Dewayne Owens kicked in the door of his neighbors’ Ashton Street apartment. Inside were Owens’ two neighbors, a man and woman. Owens began hitting his male neighbor with a space heater and told him he was going to have to fight for his life. The man then tried to electrocute the male victim with the heater’s cord. When that didn’t work, police said he tied the cord in a knot and tried to strangle the man.

Police said during the fight, Owens’ female neighbor was in a corner of the room, as Owens said he would kill her if she moved. The suspect, who lives at 402 Ashton St., left before police arrived. If you have information about Owens and his location, LaGrange police ask you call Troup County Crime Stoppers at 706-812-1000.

There’s a Limerick in here somewhere, I just know it.

Next we'll be seeing a spate of small, easily concealable, Saturday Night Special hand heaters.

The pain from DeWayne falls mainly on his bane.

Owens began hitting his male neighbor with a space heater

DeWayne and his neighbor did wrassle
o'er some sort of domestic hassle;
With this fact submitted
the jury acquitted:
They found a man's Ohm is his castle.

There once was a man from La Grange,
who's behavior was much more than strange,
He tried shocking a bloke,
and then failed with a choke,
his assault try had gone down the Dewayne.

Alexis DeWayne vowed to murder his neighbor
In choosing a weapon he did series-ly labor.
A space heater would work!
With a zap and a jerk!
But he tripped on the cord on the floor.

With a space heater DeWayne would be able
To kill the neighbor who was happy and stable.
But the danged thing was busted
In inferior products he trusted.
"Made in China" was right there on the label.
