| William Paul Newkirk (Source: New Hanover County Jail) |
He apparently thought he was a dog...he chased cars, leapt into the bushes and jumped on moving cars.
A witness said Newkirk, ran up to a woman on a cell phone, took it from her hand and threw it on the ground.
Police caught William Paul Newkirk, 22, around 2 p.m. and transported him to New Hanover County Medical Center.
Newkirk told police he took three hits of acid before he decided to go out and play in traffic. He broke into two houses and left his clothing behind one of the homes (explains why he was naked). It was at this point, that he decided to chase cars.
Police charged Newkirk with misdemeanor and felony breaking and entering and with interfering with 911. The last charge is because he destroyed the woman's cell phone as she was attempting to call 911.
The only good thing about LSD (acid) is that it is non-addicting, but it is not harmless. Acid causes an increase in body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure along with tremors, delusions and visual hallucinations. These changes must be frightening...and next comes panic. So knowing the effects of acid, why would anyone want to try.
Peace

LSD? What is this 1972? Is that even a drug anymore? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, some people still use it because not addicting, but it causes them act crazy. It's not worth your life; he could have been killed by one of those cars. Thanks for commenting.
