Wanted criminal? No… haunted criminal:
A Wisconsin man charged with domestic abuse told cops that a “ghost” was actually responsible for injuries suffered by his wife, according to police.
The bizarre claim by Michael West, 41, did not prevent the Fond du Lac man’s arrest for strangulation, battery, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. West is pictured in the mug shot at right.
To be fair… he was drunk, but the excuse is a fresh one. Hopefully he gets a nice long sentence where he’ll be haunted by the living.

Obviously this claim would preclude an insanity defense on his part!
I see a new Discovery, A&E, TLC, or History Channel show coming out of this.
