Random Gruesome Nightmare Stories About People Tripping On Flakka And Bath Salts (10 items)

(#1) Flakka May Have Turned A Miami Man Into A Face-Eating Cannibal

On May 26, 2012, a 31-year-old homeless man named Rudy Eugene was discovered chowing down on another man’s face in broad daylight. The target, named Ronald Poppo, had much of his face chewed off (including his eyebrows, his nose, parts of his forehead and cheek, and his left eye) before police ordered Eugene to stop. Eugene just growled at the officers, who were forced to fire on him four times before he finally went down. One witness described the gruesome scene to ABC News: "The forehead was just bone, no nose, no mouth."

Investigators claimed Eugene's behavior was consistent with bath salt use, but initial toxicology reports found only cannabis in his system. However, many experts continue to believe he was on a related bath salts-type substance, and say that municipal toxicology labs are not yet equipped to test for many new, synthetic substances.
(#2) Bath Salts Contributed To The Horrible Mistreatment Of A Goat

A man named Mark Thompson decided to go on a three-day bath salt binge in his home in Alum Creek, West Virginia, in May 2011, and it went about as horribly as could be expected. Thompson got a hold of his neighbor’s pygmy goat, brought it into his home, and pierced its neck.

When the neighbors entered his home, they found Thompson wearing a bra and no pants. There was blood everywhere. Next to the deceased goat were explicit images. Thompson bolted out the front door and was later found in the woods by police.
(#10) The Naked Lake Worth Sniper Was High On Flakka

33-year-old Leroy Strothers decided to strip down and run up to the roof of his Lake Worth, Florida, home to shout nonsense and wave his side arm around. "Someone please call my sister," he shouted, "I feel delusional, and I'm hallucinating!" He fired off his side arm a few times, and as police approached him, he put the piece to his own head and pulled the trigger.

After his attempt on his own life failed, he confessed to being depressed and on flakka. Police were able to talk him down. He was charged with possession and discharging a firearm in public.
(#3) Flakka Made A Man Think He Was God

Not only did Kenneth Crowder of Melbourne, Florida, get high on flakka and proudly declare himself the god Thor, but he also tried to have relations with a tree, attacked a cop, and was seen running unclothed through the streets. The police officer on the scene tried tasing him, but Crowder plucked the electric probes from his body and started beating the officer.

Crowder then took the cop’s own badge from him and tried to pierce him with it. The officer was finally able to subdue him and get him in cuffs.
(#8) A 19-Year-Old Crashed Through A Family’s Window

19-year-old Nico Gallo of Stuart, Florida, got high on flakka and then flipped out on his innocent neighbors. He tried kicking in their front door and when that didn’t work, he “cannon-balled” himself through the plate-glass front window. Since flakka makes both physical pain and mental sanity nonexistent, Gallo was able to get up, dust the glass shards off, and attack the woman who lived there and her son without missing a beat.

Luckily, Gallo was distracted with the son long enough for the woman to grab a metal baseball bat to beat him in the head and subdue him until the police showed up to cart him off.
(#4) Bath Salts Led To A Tragic Event For One Washington Family

In April 2011, Army Sgt. David Stewart and his wife Kristy were caught speeding on the interstate in Spanaway, Washington, by a Washington State Patrol trooper. The trooper chased after the pair. During the chase, Stewart fired at his wife and then crashed his car. Stewart then fired on himself before he could be apprehended. Their 5-year-old son Jordan was later found deceased in their home - it is presumed he was ended by one or both of his parents.

Toxicology tests confirmed that both Stewart and his wife had bath salts in their systems. More packets of bath salts were found in their house, in their car, and on Stewart's person.
