The WTF Files: Case # 34399812992

It's unavoidable.  Every once in a while a news story comes along that grabs your attention with one piece of information, then sucker-punches you with another.  Witness the following:

Hemmed in by six court and correction officers, Richard Glawson, his jaw set, pleaded not guilty yesterday to new charges that include the threatened slaughter of a jury.

    “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I’ll kill all of you if you find me guilty of any one charge, and that goes for your family, too,” the 46-year-old hissed in court last month, according to prosecutors.

That was the 'hook'. Here comes the knockout punch:

He is further charged with using restraints to break a window in the court cell where he made mosaic art out of two bologna and cheese sandwiches.

Yep.
