‘Vampire’ arrested in Texas

Vampires, despite their popularity, aren’t real.

'Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your neck veins throbbing.'

This news has yet to sink into the perhaps-troubled brain of a Texas teen who, after biting a woman on the neck, said he was a vampire who had to “feed.”

The Houston Chronicle provides the details:

Lyle Monroe Bensley, 19, of Galveston, is being held on a charge of burglary with intent to commit assault after forcing his way early Saturday into the apartment of a woman he did not know, police said.

“He was begging us to restrain him because he didn’t want to kill us,” Galveston Officer Daniel Erickson said. “He said he needed to feed.”

The vampire, who appeared to NOT be under the influence of drugs, was covered in tattoos and not much else … he was wearing only boxer shorts when he shoved his way into a woman’s apartment.

I thought vampires had to be invited guests?

Police said Bensley growled and hissed while biting the woman in her bed over the weekend.

She escaped before being drained of vital liquids.

“I’m a vampire, and I’ve been alive for over 500 years,” Bensley told police.

Let’s hope he spends the next 10 in prison.
