19-year-old Lyle Monroe Bensley of Galveston, Texas is being held on charges of burglary and intent to commit assault after breaking into a woman’s apartment and attempting to feed on her. Because, as “True Blood” fans and general vampire enthusiasts know, that’s what vampires do.
But this is no joke; Bensley really does think he’s a vampire. “I’m a vampire, and I’ve been alive for over 500 years,” Bensley said, according to an officer at the scene. More from the local report:
Bensley made growling and hissing noises while biting and hitting the woman in her bed, Captain Heyse said. Bensley then dragged her out of the apartment and she broke free. Bensley, covered with tattoos and wearing only boxer shorts, forced his way into the apartment on Seawall Boulevard and made his way into the bedroom of a woman whose name has not been released…
A legit attack by a dude who really thinks he’s a vampire. Bensley was captured after a short chase; we suppose he was absent when the King of Texas handed out flying and glamoring abilities.
Good luck to Bensley’s cellmate.
