A Galveston man is under arrest following a bizarre incident in a woman's apartment over the weekend.

Lyle Bensley, 19, is accused of breaking into a woman's apartment in the 7800 block of Seawall Boulevard early Saturday morning. According to Galveston Police Captain Jeff Heyse, Bensley, who was wearing only boxers at the time, hissed and growled at the resident while biting her. The woman managed to get away and called 911.

Bensley was arrested a short time later and reportedly told police he was a vampire. He has been charged with burglary of a habitation, intending to commit a felony. Bond has been set at $40,000.

Ah, almost a new addition to the “Haunted Galveston” tour — which is extremely weak, btw.

Hurrican Ike did great things for Galveston. Really cleaned it up.

What’s the problem? Ours is a multicultural society, and he’s just doing what vampires do.

He really should have read up on vampire lore before he tried that excuse.

After cuffing the perp, I bet the police could have had some fun by getting a piece of wood and letting him see it.

Of course, speaking in low tones with each other, they could briefly discuss whether he had used it as a burglary device, before dismissing the idea, as a CYA, yet make stabbing motions with the piece of wood as if they were contemplating staking the vampire.

Vampires can’t break into apartments, they have to be invited.

Something funny to explore his state of mind: cuff him to the flagpole in front of the jailhouse and see what he does when the sun comes up.

Just to be on the safe side, drive a wooden stake through his heart and cut off his head.

Actually, in the olden days, it was a metal spike to drive the Demon to ground.

Times change, we try to make allowances...
