Man: Flesh-eating aliens were chasing me when I caused fatal car crash

Scott Krause is accused of crashing into a UPS truck and killing driver Drew Reynolds in 2004.


By Emanuella Grinberg
Court TV

A California man facing life in prison for crashing his car into a UPS truck will not dispute that his actions resulted in the death of the driver when his trial opens Monday in Nevada County Superior Court.

Instead, Scott Krause's defense will argue that the defendant believed he was trying to escape man-eating subterranean beings when he ran into Drew Reynolds' truck on Jan. 6, 2004.

Krause has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to five felony counts, including first-degree murder, carjacking, and burglary, stemming from a string of alleged criminal activities leading up to the fatal highway crash.

In three court-ordered evaluations, the defendant stated he was fleeing subterranean beings he called "hemadrones" when he carjacked a commercial vehicle near a Nevada City, Calif., gas station and then crashed into Reynolds' service vehicle.

1. Damn, I hate it when that happens.

I wonder if he ever gets chased by a giant penguin. I have had that nightmare about 5 or 6 times a year since I was a kid. Glad I never thought to flee it in my car.
