Drugs, paranoia, assault, and a house in flames: The bizarre case of Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O'Brien's arrest
As a result of a series of events that can only be explained as stranger than fiction, longtime Cannibal Corpse guitarist Pat O'Brien was arrested for burglary and assault Monday night, while his own home was in Northdale, Florida, went ablaze with "explosive ammunition" inside the house.
According to local news channel WFLA, O'Brien broke into a house in his neighborhood at around 6:57 pm on Monday. The home was occupied by two currently-unidentified people, and when he was asked to leave, O'Brien pushed one of the residents, a woman, to the ground, and ran to their backyard where he hid behind a fence. All this while, O'Brien's own home was engulfed by flames and after multiple local residents called 911, police turned up on the scene to find the distressed guitarist hiding behind the said fence.
