Our Latest Wacko: (we cherish these things!)

This very apt nominee arrives from SCOT, who has found just the right guy for our latest WACKO of the WEEK Award. (We wish to add that we are in no way related to this fella, despite the similarity in names, and are rather glad he won't show up for Thanksgiving dinner with us. Don't want you accusing us of nepotism. )

Thee cast a bright light, me man.





On August 17, police in Lancaster, Ohio, responded to a report of a man darting in and out of traffic and yelling threats out a K-Mart. When police arrived on the scene, they saw 31-year-old Daniel Wood (pictured above), a homeless man with a criminal record, inhaling gas from an aerosol can. In an attempt to subdue Wood, who bit one of the arresting officers, another officer zapped Wood with a Taser. Wood immediately burst into flames that covered the upper half of his body, due to the flammable gas he had been inhaling. The officers put Woods out and then took him into custody, with second-degree burns.
