Mark Thompson, 19, of Alum Creek, is charged with animal cruelty


CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Police say an Alum Creek man high on bath salts killed his neighbor's pygmy goat and that neighbors found him in his bedroom, dressed in a bra and panties, next to the dead animal, said Lt. Bryan Stover of the Kanawha County Sheriff's Department.

Mark Thompson, 19, of Greenview Road, is charged with animal cruelty after police got a call from a woman who said he stole her goat at about 3:15 a.m. Monday, Stover said.

Lisa Powers said she bought the goat on Friday as a gift to her 4-year-old grandson. They named the male goat Bailey after a female character on the Disney Channel television show "The Suite Life on Deck." ................(more)

which means almost all of them.

"Bath salts" is the nickname for MDPV. It's a hallucinogen and stimulant.

Thanks for the explanation.

I was starting to think that folks in rural WVa were really inventive when it comes to getting high.

You can get high off bath salts?????

Does this mean soon I won't even be able to make my own salts???

this article for justification in outlawing bubble bath and Calgon.

It's some chemical that they put in salts as a cover.

"The powders sold as "Ivory Snow," "Bliss," "Vanilla Sky" and other brand names are not common bath salts and contain the ingredients MDPV or mephedrone, stimulants that can cause rapid heart rates, seizures and hallucinations.

Truck stops, tattoo parlors and tobacco shops sell the substances in 50-milligram packets for $25 to $50 each, according to an alert issued last month by the U.S. Department of Justice.

"I know not anyone who spends $50 for that amount of bath salts, but we're supposed to believe that's what it's for," said Cmdr. Jim Connors of the St. Joseph Police Department.

The powders described as "fake cocaine" have appeared in the last year in stores that previously sold the now-illegal synthetic marijuana products known as K2 and Spice, law enforcement officials said."

Hmmm.......

look at the marks on this guys face. If he's not a meth head, I don't know who is.

:wtf:

I googled and found this:

However, from the looks of the sores on his face, I suspect he has been snorting more than bath salts.

Edit to add:

Upon reading some of the articles more closely, there are hallucinogens that are being marketed as "bath salts" but are not actually intended for bathing.

when high on random bath products

:crazy:
