A Massachusetts man went off the deep end when Framingham police apprehended him for shoplifting; David Blanchard, 21, was arrested after he stole a pair of Adidas sneakers from a local Kohl's department store, when police brought Blanchard to the station for booking the situation became very crappy - fast.
According to Wicked Local, Blanchard became upset when the bail commissioner set his bail at $2,500. He was allowed to make a phone call, but when he refused to tell the person on the other end that the call was recorded, officers hung up.
When Blanchard was placed in his cell, he repeatedly tried to choke himself with his T-shirt, and then wedged it into a gap in the cell door and tried to hang himself, the prosecutor said. When officers stopped him, he got into a fighting stance, and officers had to twice shock Blanchard with a Taser.
Prosecutor Laura Montes says that Blanchard then escalated his defiance. He defecated into his hands and then threw it at the security camera, he also threw it all over the cell. At this point he was moved to a clean cell - where he continued to throw his feces.
Police were not phased by any of his outbursts - which made the fecal flinger even more agitated, so "he then placed a ball of feces in his mouth and began chewing and said, 'How about now?' "
Yep, that did it - he was taken to MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham for a mental health evaluation.
