Look Upon The Mugshot Of This Statue-Smashing Messenger From God

Levon T. Sarkisyan
According to police, a West Hartford man was arrested this week after he allegedly broke into a house, smashed statues and a marble table, then told the homeowners when they returned home that he'd been sent by God. And he really puts the mugging into mugshot!

Levon T. Sarkisyan, who reportedly has a history of bizarre behavior, was charged with third-degree burglary and first-degree criminal mischief. Sarkisyan broke into the Farmington house on Sunday night, and used the fireplace poker to smash statues, including one of a Roman soldier, as well as a marble table, causing about $10,000 of damage. He also took a shower and dressed in the clothing of a deceased former resident.

When the owners returned, he casually told them he had broken in because "God wants me to help the world," then added, "I mean you no harm." As the homeowners fumbled to call 911, Sarkisyan calmly told them, "You see, God will not let you use the phone." As they waited for the police, he revealed how he had broken into the home: he "flexed his arm and said, 'You see, super-human strength.'" Later, surprisingly, Sarkisyan told police that he'd smoked "a strange strand of herb" that caused him to do what he did.

    Oh, for goodness sake.  *This* idiot was supposed to swim to the Statue of Liberty, and the *other* idiot was supposed to break in and smash the statues.  (It's a "graven images" thing...don't ask.)

    Man, I really don't make 'em like I used to.
