The wolf man growls at midnight in Sheffield Township, Ohio: A man is arrested after growling at Lorain County deputies, claiming he'd been scratched by a wolf in the woods. As it turns out, vodka scratches like hell.
Apparently he also blacks out when the moon comes out. That's what he says anyway.
Deputies didn't see the humor after being called out to the Timber Ridge Campground in Brownhelm Township, right after midnight on May 29. The 20-year-old "animal" of sorts,Thomas Stroup, is accused of being violent with people -- and animals. Wolves do rule.
He allegedly scared other campers at the campsite, who law enforcement says fled the scene.
It seems the "wolf" in Stroup may have less to do with the moon than what Lorain County deputies believe to be consumption of copious amounts of vodka at the campground. Massive amounts of vodka can "scratch" like hell -- and turn a lot of people into wolves, so Stroup may be in good company.
