Nashville, Tennessee





On March 25, 2012, William Todd was taking a Greyhound bus ride from Kentucky that needed to make a stop in Nashville. The bus arrived at approximately 3:00 AM for a whopping 9 hour layover.





While most of us would be mildly annoyed at having to wait that long (in the middle of the night, no less), Todd decided to turn what little was left of the weekend into an adventure. His first stop was The Slaughterhouse , a popular haunted house attraction.





The attraction was most likely closed (due to it being 3:00 AM), but that didn't stop Todd from breaking into the place , stealing a gun, a shotgun, a taser, and (of course) a t-shirt. After securing his weapons and his souvenir, Todd closed the place down himself by setting it on fire and burning it to the ground.





In the south, we call this "pulling a Sherman."









Next on Todd's to do list was breaking in his new weapons and obtaining some walking around money. He did this by tasing and pistol whipping a group of people he found that were leaving a bar. He then took their cash and credit cards, ran off, and hailed a cab...





...which he promptly carjacked and took on a quick run to a local Walmart. At this point, you're probably expecting the Walmart he visited to get blown up, but the worst thing Todd probably did there was use the express lane with the $200 worth of food that he bought





I'm not sure what possessed Todd to go through a Walmart check out line (which is still insanely slow even when at 3:30 AM) like a normal person, but once he had his food for the week, Todd wasn't finished wreaking havoc.





At approximately 6:00 AM, Todd found a local law office, broke in, and ransacked it. As a parting gift, he defecated on one of the desks and smeared poop over the framed law degrees decorating the wall.

not be taking William Todd's case "like a boss."













No information has come out about what Todd did for the next 2-3 hours, but at approximately 9:00 AM, Todd crashed his stolen cab into a downtown parking garage. Not one to be deterred, he simply hailed another cab at 11:30 AM. Instead of assaulting the driver and taking the car, however, Todd simply asked that he be driven to Opryland ...because everyone has to see Opryland before they leave Nashville, apparently.









They have waterfalls in the lobby!!!







At this point, Todd decided to get cheap (despite having $600 stolen dollars burning a hole in his pocket) and At this point, Todd decided to get cheap (despite having $600 stolen dollars burning a hole in his pocket) and offered his driver a knife to his neck rather than cab fare and a tip. He emerged from the car and ran towards the hotel's powerhouse/cooling tower.





Todd's reign of terror ended when police finally (!) caught up to him atop the hotel, attempting to hide from them by submerging himself in a water-cooling vat.





Suffice to say, police and local news were baffled by what happened, with Sgt. Tony Blackburn stating "He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before."





What's even better is that the news report embedded below states that the crimes took place on April 25, 2012. When I made the reasonable deduction that Todd's trip to Nashville actually began on March 25 (and later confirmed it), one intrepid commenter on Fark.com declared:





"The chick in the video said April 25th. I was all like, 'WTF? It's news from the future! The cops can still stop him.'

So thanks for ruining that."
