Virginia man with 'suspicious bacon' takes plea deal
http://www.richmond.com/news/virginia/article_d0cc0e72-b1e9-5568-bb15-a5f36504f906.html
A Madison Heights man accused of wearing a camouflage mask on a neighbors property with a firearm and suspicious bag of bacon pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor counts of carrying a gun while intoxicated and trespassing.
...
Arriving to the scene, Amherst County Sheriffs Deputy Susan Jackson spotted Cater lying face down in the woods with a camouflage shirt and camouflage hunting mask and a semi-automatic handgun fully loaded, said Childress. A few feet away was a bag of raw bacon with a sticky, oily substance that later was found to have contained an engine lubricant oil, Childress said.
...
Cater did not say why he had the bacon, Childress said. During questioning, Cater said, I only put the bacon in the bag. Nothing else, Childress said.
...
(Oh, but the stupid does not end there. Consider your Halloween options carefully in my fair Commonwealth.)
Cater is a military veteran with no prior criminal history, a factor in the commonwealth not prosecuting a felony charge of wearing a mask in public and two misdemeanor counts of drunk in public and attempting to poison a companion animal, Childress said.
