Breaking News: George Smith, Man Charged for Casino Vandalism, Had Trace of PCP
Hey there! Let's talk about a wild incident at a Shawnee, Oklahoma casino that's been making waves. Meet George Smith, the man who's been slapped with a felony destruction of property charge.
But wait, there's more. A toxicology report revealed traces of PCP in his blood. Yep, you read that right — the same hallucinogenic drug associated with the infamous Angel of Death during the '70s.
So, what happened? Well, it's said that Smith allegedly went on a rampage, bashing a slot machine in a fit of rage. The casino officials swiftly ruled out any technical glitch; it was all Smith's doing.
The damages? Quite substantial, estimated at a whopping $16,959.50.
But it doesn't stop there. According to reports, Smith was acting erratically during the incident, exhibiting agitation, disorientation, and even foaming at the mouth. Thankfully, paramedics were on the scene to lend a hand.
However, the cherry on top (or should we say, the kicker) is the toxicology report. It found traces of PCP in Smith's system, which could have contributed to his bizarre behavior.
So, what happens now? Well, due to the significance of the damages and the Oklahoma state's laws regarding destruction of property, Smith could be facing some hefty fines and potential jail time.
Stay tuned for updates on this wild roller coaster of an incident. It's a wild ride, we know!
