In Tampa, Marine reservist Jasen Bruce was getting clothes out of the trunk of his car when a Greek Orthodox priest approached him to ask for directions. Father Alexios Marakis who speaks little English was attired in a long robe and sported a beard.

What the priest got instead of directions, was a tire iron to the head. Then he was chased for three blocks, as the Marine kept a 911 operator on the phone, saying he had captured a terrorist. Read on it gets more outlandish then this folks…

Mr. Bruce had several explanations for his outrageous behavior. The man tried to rob him, the man grabbed Bruce’s crotch and made an overt sexual advance in perfect English and finally, the man yelled “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is great,” the same words some witnesses said the Fort Hood shooting suspect uttered last week.

Bruce ended up in the pokey, charged with aggravated assault and bonded out on a 7,500 dollar bond. He showed no remorse.
