10 Weirdest Criminals In History

8. Going Doo-Doolally

Now it takes all sorts, and we€™re not judgmental types (we can€™t really afford to be)€ but some peoples€™ fetishes and paraphilias take €˜doing your own thing€™ to whole new levels of wrong. A case in point is Mr. David Truscott, a man who developed a soulful crush on the cow manure at a local farm in Redruth in Cornwall, England. Yes, you read that correctly. Mr. Truscott began his courtship by stealing cowpats from the farm, but his sentimental feelings couldn€™t be contained, and his declarations of love began to take the form of nocturnal visits to the farm, whereupon he would roll around in liquid manure, or €˜slurry€™, performing what are referred to as €˜sex acts€™ while almost entirely naked. Apparently he€™d keep one sock on€ where he wore it is a matter between Mr. Truscott and his diary, but we€™ve never been more grateful for the euphemistic reporting standards of the press. When the family that runs the farm decided that €˜no€™ most assuredly meant €˜no€™ and began to have the slurry stored elsewhere, the crap romantic took the rejection poorly. Proving that hell hath no fury like a turd beguiler scorned, Mr. Truscott would be jailed in 2005, 2009 and 2011 for attempting to set fire to the property and threatening to kill the owners, and was eventually jailed for an extended ten-year sentence and remitted for medical treatment after psychiatric reports indicated that he had mental health issues. No sh*t, Sigmund.
