Eric Scott, February 2012

On Feb. 11, Eric Scott, 47, who was having a bad trip on bath salts, asked neighbors in Milton, Fla., to call 911 to help him get medical attention. When police arrived, he was cursing to himself and threw a flashlight at a mailbox and asked to be shot. The officers decided to handcuff him to await medical help. Unable to move his hands, Scott bit the police car and dragged his teeth across the hood, leaving teeth marks in the vehicle and causing $600 worth of damage.

Johnny Salazar, July 2011

Johnny Salazar was watching his two young sons one Sunday morning in Arizona, while the rest of his family was at church. At one point, he noticed that his 5-year-old was touching the Bible and determined that the boy must be possessed by a demon. He then used a cigarette lighter to burn the child’s hands and wrists. Salazar was taking bath salts at the time. Salazar’s mother said the burns did not require medical attention and noted that Salazar recently had broken up with the child’s mother.  “He had a hard time accepting it, so he turned to bath salts,” she said.
