WACO, Texas –  A Texas man is facing  animal cruelty charges after police said he ate a dog while high on synthetic  marijuana.

Michael Terron Daniel, 22, was arrested Monday for the June 14 incident,  KWTX-TV reported.

Police investigated after receiving a report of a man “going crazy” at a Waco  home.

When they arrived, Daniel told officers he was on a “bad trip” from the  synthetic marijuana, known as K-2. He had apparently assaulted several people at  the home.

He dropped to all fours and chased a neighbor “while barking and growling  like a dog,” Waco Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Daniel then grabbed a dog, beat and fatally strangled it and “began to bite  into the dog, ripping pieces of flesh away,” according to Swanton.

Officers contacted paramedics because Daniel was incoherent. While waiting  for them to arrive, Daniel reportedly asked police to fight him or use a stun  gun on him to help end his bad trip, Swanton said. The officers declined.

Daniel was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. He was arrested Monday at  his workplace, charged with cruelty to a non-livestock animal and booked into  McLennan County Jail.

Like the designer drugs sold as “bath salts,” synthetic marijuana — also  sold under the name “spice” — has been known to make some users aggressive and  behave in a bizarre manner.
