Man claims to be "lord of Israel"
James Starr had been outside the store asking people for money before he entered the Indiana Shop in the late afternoon Tuesday. Once inside the store, Starr claimed to be the “lord of Israel” and stated he would “bomb the place in the name of Mary.”
When police arrived, Starr told one of the officers that the officer was “abolished from going to heaven,” according to Capt. Steve Kellams.
At this time, several people were inside the store.
He left the store for a while, and the police did, too, but when he returned later, the police were called back. This time, they arrested him on the charge of intimidation.
Man gets into wrong car, refuses to leave
On Sunday night, a 28-year-old man saw a man he didn’t know get inside his girlfriend’s car on North College Ave. and try to start it. The 29-year-old man in the car would not get out, so the 28-year-old hit him in the face, police said. Bloomington police arrested the person in the car for public intoxication and unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle.
However, it appears the man arrested simply got into the wrong car, police said. His own car was parked two spots away.
