Talk of an impending “zombie apocalypse” is unlikely to die anytime soon after yet another report of a flesh-eating attack — this one also linked to possible “bath salts” use.

Police in Lafayette Parish, La. say 43-year-old Carl Jacquneaux attacked Todd Credeur in his yard over the weekend, biting part of his face off after a domestic dispute.

“During the attack the suspect bit a chunk of the victim’s face off,” Scott Assistant Police Chief Kert Thomas told KATC-TV.

According to a police report posted on The Smoking Gun, the victim is the husband of the suspect’s ex-wife.

“In the course of the altercation, [Jacquneaux] began biting Mr. Credeur in the face, removing flesh the size of a quarter below the victim’s left eye,” the report said.

Credeur told KATC he was working in his front yard when Jacquneaux showed up at his house and attacked him. Credeur said he sprayed wasp poison in Jacquneaux’s face, which made him flee the scene.

Police said Jacquneaux then showed up at another acquaintance’s home, holding him at knifepoint and stealing a handgun. That’s where deputies caught up with Jacquneaux and arrested him.

Deputies said Jacquneaux was clearly under the influence of some type of drug, but no blood tests were performed on him to know for sure. However, a friend of Credeur’s told KATC she believes Jacquneaux was using “bath salts” — a drug that can make users go “completely insane and become very violent” and has been blamed for the first such attack in Miami.

According to KATC, Jacquneaux is charged with aggravated burglary, simple battery of the infirm, violation of probation, aggravated second degree battery and violation of protective orders. He was being held in the Lafayette Parish Jail with a $312,500 bond.

Credeur has been released from the hospital.

“Very unusual, it’s not something we see everyday,” Thomas told the station.

    Except for the amped up drugs, this is nothing new.

    People have been fighting “tooth and nail” since the beginning of time.

    Read about some of the ancient Roman battles. They have descriptions of surrounded armies fighting “tooth and nail (that’s fingernails)” trying to fight their way out of battles to escape.

      …the C.I.A. has released an underground tested secret drug into the black market as per orders from the whitehouse. the drug will turn people into flesh eating zombies who will also vote for obama. millions will be affected as popularity of the “zombie” drug grows. it’s the new drug that pushes the envelope, which is very exciting…for losers

      I can just hear it now, “Having teeth is a predatory, evil thing! We demand that everyone have their teeth forcibly removed and never shall these face-biters rear their ugly heads again! This will also clear the way for a new “Green Job”… pureeing food for the masses!”

      I agree w/ Adversary.

      This site is fear porn for Beckites. I only visit now because there’s the occasional video, that isn’t news, that is funny or about guns or gives a scope into the mind of the neo-con (like most here). I once was a Beckite myself. I’ve seen the light which is truth and the truth is undeniable once you hear it.

      IF YOU AREN’T TALKING ABOUT THE OBAMA KENYA BIO YOU ARE WRONG. this crap is definitely non-news considering the Blaze isn’t linking the zombie stories together anyway. There’s actually been over 20 cases in the past couple of months.

      Go back to sleep people, we’ve already given our country away and I doubt any of you know what real war is like so trust me – you won’t be defending yourself in Armageddon anytime soon. If we’re not rioting over an illegitimate president, I don’t know what the breaking point could possibly be. WE ARE ALREADY FUNKED.

      This drug is a threat to national security. Imagine this stuff getting into the food or water supply…salad bar?

      But stories of people biting each other are only now being told when they’ve been going on for a very long time all around this country. Can you imagine if the media did its job and reported all the true stories including those not deemed political correct enough where they just might be called racists for reporting them ie black violence in America.
