(story update) Kai, the hatchet-wielding hitchhiker, arrested on suspicion of murder [View all]
Caleb McGillvary, also known as Kai, the hatchet-wielding hitchhiker of “Smash, smash, SUH-MASH!” fame, was arrested in Philadelphia on a New Jersey murder warrant, authorities said.
McGillvary, 24, was arrested without incident at a Greyhound Bus stop about 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Authorities in Union County, New Jersey, named the animated, couch-crashing drifter as a suspect in the death of New Jersey attorney Joseph Galfy.
Galfy was found dead Monday inside his home on Starlite Drive when officers made a welfare check, Union County prosecutors spokesman John Holl said.
An autopsy determined Galfy died of blunt force trauma.
McGillvary was recognized by a Starbucks employee when he stopped in for a drink, said Philadelphia police officer Christine O’Brien. After he left, the employee called police, who searched the area and found McGillvary at the bus station.
Officials did not say where McGillvary was headed.
