Man on drug called ‘wasp’ breaks into home, cuts throat in front of mother and children
WNCN ^ | 12/26/17 | WKRN staff

NASHVILLE, TN (WKRN) – A Lawrence County man was arrested after terrorizing a family and causing tremendous harm to himself while being under the influence of a dangerous drug.

Deputies said Danny Hollis Jr. was smoking something called wasp, a mixture of meth and bug spray.

On Monday night around 7 p.m. on Gimlet Road, deputies responded to a call about a naked man inside a house.

Investigators said Hollis broke into the home, sat at the family dinner table and cut his own throat in front of four children and a mother.

“This man walks in. The family is all in there, minding their own business. He is stripped naked. He says the dog is looking at him. He grabs a knife and he cuts his throat. He goes up stairs and jumps out a window, after busting his head on the glass of the front door and then he takes off running,” said Lt. Melinda Brewer.

According to Brewer, Hollis jumped on the gazebo in the family’s back yard.

The 35-year-old ran across a field, where deputies finally caught up to him.

After he hit his head on the pavement, deputies and EMS were able to secure him.

Investigators said Hollis admitted to smoking wasp, a combination of meth and crystalized bug spray.

Lt. Brewer said the drug is worse than bath salts and causes psychotic episodes.

Hollis didn’t want to talk to WKRN-TV in jail, but deputies spoke to him.

Hollis said he couldn’t remember any of the things he did, authorities said.

I think we should subsidize an overdose for all druggies.

In before the “legalize it” crowd.

In before the "let's pretend that alcohol isn't the worst drug on the face of the earth—worse than all other drugs combined" crowd...

How creative. I guess we should ban bug spray now...

“...and cut his own throat...”

Where was the man of the house? I’d have cut his throat for him.

Too damn bad he didn’t manage to kill himself.

Too bad it is illegal to help him.

Dregs of lifeforms deserve to die.

“If there’s one thing drug addicts are better at than lying, it’s coming up with new chemical combinations to inject, snort or otherwise insert into their various orifices.”

Once...for purely medically precribed reasons...I had an opium suppository. Once!

Didn't cut deep enough. He'll now be a ward of the state. Money that could have helped some deserving but unlucky non-druggies will go to maintain him.

My mother would have killed him for dripping on her floor. She once broke a broom stick clean in half over a professional hockey player’s head for being disrespectful to her. Really! That meth head would have been dead.

That’s what happens when you ban tobacco — a substance that “the greatest generation” thrived on.

At least he didn't physically harm anybody except himself. Wonder how much of his brain is permanently fried?
