Investigators said that once he got into the apartment, Bensley made hissing and growling noises as he bit the woman's neck and hit her as she was in bed. Bensley started to drag the woman out of her apartment and she was able to run away, police said. Officers said they found Bensley running through the parking lot nearly naked. Detectives said this is one of the most bizarre cases they've handled."He was adamant on the fact that he was a vampire and he had been here for 500 years," Officer Andrian Healy said. "Stated numerous times he wasn't out to hurt the human race." Officers said Bensley's behavior at the jail was also strange."Yelling and screaming, growling, hissing," Erickson said. "He actually held on to one of the benches and was warning us to restrain him because he didn't want to be forced to hurt or kill anybody. Gnashing his teeth at us." Bensley has been charged with burglary with intent to commit assault. http://www.news4jax.com/news/28879947/detail.html Pic of the "vampire"...  |
