The Devil arrested for messing with man's world vision, cops say

PORT ST. LUCIE, FL -- A man's trip to a Cumberland Farms store turned into a chance encounter with a scraggly version of Beelzebub, according to Port St. Lucie cops.

The victim told officers he was leaving the store when he was approached by a man later identified as John Eugene Yale, Jr.

They chatted for a few minutes when Yale suddenly announced, “I am the Devil and I am going to kill you!”

Police said Yale jumped on the victim, hit him on the head and jammed his thumbs in the man's eyes, causing them to bleed.

The victim fought back and managed to escape to his house, where he called 911.

Yale was arrested and hauled off to his own private hell. 

He's charged with felony battery.
