A Louisiana man is in hot water with authorities following a bizarre incident which culminated with him claiming that a ghost planted drugs on him. According to a local media report, the strange case began when police in the community of Ouachita Parish received a call from a man who claims that intruders had broken into his home and stabbed him in the head with an axe. However, when officers arrived, they soon realized that they were responding to much different situation.
Police say that the man, Michael Auttonberry, appeared to be perfectly fine, in a physical sense, but was behaving in a distraught manner. Specifically, he was seen arguing with individuals who were "obviously not there." When he allegedly became belligerent with the officers, Auttonberry was subdued and cops observed that his head was not injured at all, despite what he had reported on the call.
Whatever mystery there may have been to the Auttonberry odd antics was seemingly solved when police found meth both in his home and his pocket. Asked about the drugs, the man offered a fantastic scenario for how he came to have them: they were planted on him by a ghost. As one can imagine, authorities found his supernatural alibi hard to believe and promptly arrested Auttonberry for filing a false police report and drug possession.
