Earlier in the evening, the college student had been at Duffy’s restaurant, a local sports bar, when he reportedly became agitated with the service and left. It took a taser, a K-9, and about six officers to stop his cannibalistic actions and pry him off his victim.

“His garage was always open”, Stevens says, remembering the space as the couple’s second living room including a television, couch and bar. “I don’t know what is going on with him”.
He was last seen in white shorts, a blue polo and a red Make America Great Again baseball cap.
She didn’t know that about 45 minutes after leaving, according to police, he killed 53-year-old Michelle Mishcon and 59-year-old John Stevens in a random attack.
Harrouff also faces an attempted first-degree murder charge for allegedly stabbing the couple’s neighbour, Jeff Fisher, who tried to help the victims.
The mother of the man suspected of viciously killing two people in Martin County says her son believed he had super powers, according to an investigation released by Jupiter Police. But Dougherty says they were dead by the time deputies arrived and found Austin Harrouff on top of Stevens, biting his face.
Harrouff, who had no criminal record, was listed in stable condition at a hospital Wednesday and was scheduled to undergo surgery on his hand.
Hospital blood tests showed no signs of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin or other common drugs; it will take longer to test for less common hallucinogenic drugs such as flakka or bath salts. Authorities are running tests for multiple substances, Snyder said. “I mean all he’s talking about is how he doesn’t do steroids, do steroids but there’s kind of a loopy dreamy approach to his narrative”, said Miller. In the most recent video, he discussed how he had chosen not to take steroids to gain muscle.
“There was an enormous amount of violence in that garage”, Mr Snyder said, adding that there was no connection between the couple and Harrouff. A friend confirmed that the videos were of Harrouff.
“I’ve got a psycho side and a normal side. I’ve lost my mind help me find it”.
Austin Harrouff’s mother was searching for the 19-year-old at the time of the attack on Monday, after he stormed out of a restaurant following an argument with his father. “They called their garage the garage-mahal”.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Stevens says he can’t imagine how he is going to explain to his stepson, 4, and daughter what happened to their grandfather.
Harrouff gave a very different impression in a statement on a college athletic recruiting website during his senior year of high school, while he was attending a rigorous International Baccalaureat program at Suncoast, a highly rated US high school in Palm Beach County. Lonsberry and his teammates used to call him the “gentle giant”, he recalled.
If the results come back and it is not flakka, is there a new drug out there we need to be anxious about? “He was a man of very little words, but when he spoke it was always important”. Football teammates said coaches wanted him to be more aggressive. “He just wasn’t this kind of kid”. “He said he had a 3.35 grade point average, was 6′ 2” and weighed 200 pounds, and could bench press 365 pounds.
