Growling, Mud-Eating Man Arrested on Drug Charges

I've heard of having the munchies, but eating mud?

Dude!

A Texas man who was arrested Thursday on drug charges after construction workers witnessed him on his hands and knees, eating mud and growling like a dog is being monitored today inside the DeSoto Detention Center.

Authorities suspect phencyclidine, or PCP, contributed to Terence Lloyd’s delusions. A small bottle of the hallucinogenic drug, a half-pound of marijuana and one-fourth ounce of crack cocaine were seized during Lloyd’s arrest Thursday afternoon, DeSoto sheriff’s Lt. Horace Womack said.

“He was covered in mud when he was brought in. … In fact, he had ingested so much mud that he was throwing up mud,” Womack said.

Lloyd, 32, of Lufkin, Texas, is in a cell where jailers can keep an eye on him, Womack said. “We’ve not been able to communicate with him much.”

A female who had accompanied Lloyd from Texas to a Mansfield housing complex, where Lloyd was visiting relatives, told authorities that Lloyd had been acting strange most of the day. She said he had been wandering around the complex and eating dog food.

“She said he was a regular user of PCP,” Womack said.
