Man claiming to be Satan stabs 1, threatens 4

(SUN-SENTINEL) — A 30-year-old Hallandale Beach man who claimed to be Satan was arrested Sunday and accused of stabbing one man and threatening four other people, including a pregnant woman, Hollywood Police said.

Michael Anthony Thomas is charged with 13 counts that include aggravated battery with a weapon causing bodily harm, false imprisonment, resisting arrest and threatening law enforcement officers, Broward Jail records show.

It started about 8:34 a.m. Sunday when Alex Johnson, who was dozing on the couch, awoke to a knock at the door of a home in the 2100 block of Taylor Street in Hollywood. Johnson said he let Thomas in.

Thomas grabbed an eight-inch butcher knife from inside the house and “demanded his stuff,” Johnson said in the police report.
