Police: Woman with thousands of weapons 'booby trapped' home

Police: Woman with thousands of weapons 'booby trapped' home

Brooksville, Florida -- Hernando County Sheriff's personnel worked into the evening hours Wednesday removing thousands of bladed weapons from a Brooksville woman's home, several of whom were injured in the process.

The sheriff's office says they believe Nickcole Dykema "booby trapped" her home by hiding her bladed weapons in blankets, floors, and her yard injuring personnel while they dismantled and/or removed them from her property. They were treated for minor injuries at a medical facility.

In all, 3,714 bladed weapons were removed from the property. A satanic shrine and fake bloody body parts were also recovered.

"Hernando County Sheriff's personnel worked into the evening hours Wednesday removing thousands of bladed weapons from a Brooksville woman's home, several of whom were injured in the process."

Okay, how many weapons were injured?

3. The woman seems to be suffering from some serious mental health issues, from what I read...

The article says that she is on probation, and prohibited from having weapons, but doesn't say why she was on probation. With all of that booby-trapping, and the Satanic Altar, I can draw 2 conclusions, though I am not in any way a mental health expert:

1. She has been attacked and sexually assaulted in her own home and is suffering from PTSD, among other things, or

2. She is just plain off her rocker and never got evaluated/treated after the first incidence that landed her in trouble with the law and on probation.

Peace,

Ghost

Actually I am surprised they did not just blow it up.
