King and Ballow Broken Into by Man on Rampage

Over the weekend, a man in Nashville decided to go on a rampage, using a local law office’s desk as a personal restroom. The man who was the centerpiece of the tirade is that of William Todd. According to police, Todd broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver and a shotgun. Officers then claim that Todd shot up the business, stole a shirt and then set the business on fire. Then, as four people were leaving a bar, Todd held them at gunpoint, tased one of them, pistol whipped another one and then left with their credit cards and cash. Not minutes later, Todd carjacked a taxi at gunpoint and used the stolen credit cards to purchase food.

“He was just on a terror. I’ve never seen anything like this before. He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items,” said Sgt. Tony Blackburn.

Todd then stopped at the Hotel Indigo at 6 a.m. at the Hotel Indigo, Todd broke into a law office to ransack it and while he was there he defecated on a desk. He smeared feces on a couple of the law degrees framed within the office. According to sources, the law firm is that of King and Ballow. Police claim that Todd committed 11 felonies over a span of nine hours, which was a layover while waiting for a bus. Police found Todd at noon hiding on the top of Opryland, submerged in a vat that cools water. Officers said that Todd changed his look before leaving the hotel, shaving his head.

“We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head,” said Blackburn. “He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights. There definitely could be more charges. We hope that there are no more victims.”
