Taking a Hair Fetish to the Extreme


Even though I love cities, I hate public transportation.  Hate it. But most of the time, I don't have to deal with weirdos like this guy.

Apparently, in Portland (OR), there is a hair-cutting lunatic on the loose. For real. This guy is charged with "illegally snipping a woman's hair on a TriMet bus."  Side note: is there really a legal way to do that? I suppose if you somehow took your hairdresser on a bus and asked him to give you a trim.  Anyway, over the past few months, women have been riding public transit and come to realize that someone's cutting their hair or squirting super glue in it before running off.

What?!?? It gets even weirder. This isn't the first time the guy has been charged for hair-related issues. When he lived in suburban Houston, police had been investigating a rash of hair-gluing incidents that abruptly stopped (right when he moved to Oregon). And in March of last year, he was arrested for fourth-degree assault in a hair-gluing incident.

This time around, he's been charged with third-degree robbery, interfering with public transit, second-degree disorderly conduct and harassment. He's being held on $12,500 bail.

I can't get over this.  What makes someone even do something this bizarre?  Personally, I'm more interested in what he does with the hair.  Does he save the hair and make hair dolls, or just enjoy the actual cutting process?  The fact that there's glue involved leads me to believe that there is some crafting involved.

Thanks, BellaSugar for the heads up.
