Montgomery County Police in Maryland arrested a man who is suspected of spraying at least two women with semen. Michael Wayne Edwards, Jr. was charged with two counts of second-degree assault when he used a pump spray bottle to spray the backs of two women leaving various stores.Edwards was placed in jail on $4,000 bond for the first charge. He was picked up later on the second charge for the other attack, where he also posted bond. Police believe that there are more victims who didn't realize what he was doing at the time.
This story is one of those things that makes you twist your face, shiver, vomit, and shake your head, all at the same time. I truly expect that Edwards has a sanity issue, given that this is not exactly what one might consider to be normal behavior. In fact, I don't even have much else to say about this one, except "don't try this at home" (or at the grocery store).
