Brandon De Leon, 21, slammed his head against the plexiglass divider and shouted at officers, “I’m going to eat you,” NBC Miami reported.
It’s all happening kids!
De Leon then reportedly growled, displayed his chompers and tried to bite the hand of an officer.
“Brandon growled and opened and closed his jaw, slamming his teeth like an animal would,” the police report stated.
Officers eventually had to restrain De Leon with a mask à la Hannibal Lecter.
If the continued reports aren’t evidence of some kind of zombie outbreak then I don’t know what is. Maybe these designer drugs, or “bath salts” as they are known on the streets, are really top secret army chemicals (see Return of the Living Dead).
“This bears resemblance to the incident that occurred in the City of Miami last week when a male ate another man’s face,” the email to the officers said, according to WPTV television.
De Leon’s bond was set at $7,500 on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Good luck keeping a super human zombie in jail!
Brains!
Well folks, some might find it sad to say, but the Centers for Disease Control has made it official — there’s not going to be a zombie apocalypse.
Phooey.
Agency spokesman David Daigle told The Huffington Post, “CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms).”
If you’re anything like us then you might be a slightly depressed about this news.
Last year the CDC made a mockumental blog post about what to do in the event of a zombie outbreak.
With this recent announcement and the real life zombie attack in Florida it almost seems like damage control. Are they trying to calm anxiety or is this just a conspiracy-theorists dream cover-up scenario?
Either way most horror nuts will remain hopeful that some day they might be gunning down the reanimated corpse of their high school principal. Until then the zombie apocalypse will just have to remain a wonderfully disturbing dream.
