Man Says Devil Told Him To Stab Contractor On DC Bridge
WASHINGTON (AP) — Court records say a man accused in a fatal stabbing told authorities that he was just following the devil's orders.
News outlets report the records filed by detectives in the nation's capital say 42-year-old Lance Ammons said he unsuccessfully tried to fight off the devil during the attack that killed 62-year-old Robert Bolich.
Contractor Stabbed To Death While Inspecting DC Bridge
Bolich, of Alexandria, Virginia, was killed Thursday on the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge. He had been inspecting the bridge for a construction firm. Ammons was arrested at the scene.
Court filings say Ammons told authorities that he was homeless and lived in a forest near the bridge. He said he moved to the area to prepare for the world's end.
He may appear in court next week on a first-degree murder charge. He has a public defender.
