[Jesus Malverde]

West Virginia assistant prosecuting attorney has been suspended for a bizarre incident involving a gun and fake spiders.

WCHS reports that assistant prosecutor Chris White was suspended for allegedly pulling a pistol on some fake spiders in his office.

According to Logan County Prosecutor John Bennett, several secretaries in the office decorated for Halloween.

Those decorations included fake spiders.

White apparently suffers from arachnophobia and became irate over the decorations.

1. Can't blame him. Who could forget...

2. Justified

The spiders may be fake but the terror is real.


(I'm kidding of course - that's over the top. But as a fellow arachnophobe, I sympathize.)

4. arming the spiders would stop this kind of thing

8. Limits on magazine size,

no problem. Criminals will just arm spiders, eight guns, six shots a piece.
