William Todd: Criminal Legend of Fail

Police say William Todd of Kentucky went on a crime spree lasting 9 hours and 10 felonies before finally being arrested at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.

William Todd wreaked havoc on Nashville, where he started his day of terror by breaking into a haunted house tourist attraction and stealing a taser, revolver and shotgun. Todd went on a shooting spree inside and eventually lit the building on fire.

Todd then tased, pistol-whipped and stole cash and credit cards from four patrons at a local bar all while holding them at gunpoint. About five minutes later, Todd hijacked a taxi and drove to Walmart, where he spent over $200.

Todd then broke into a local lawyers office, ransacked the business then defecated on a desk, smearing feces on some of the framed law degrees.

He then impersonated a female housekeeper and knocked on several hotel room doors.

In one case, police said Todd stole $600 from a Canadian couple while at gunpoint and shaved his head to rid of a long red ponytail that could lead to police finding his identity.

At 9am, police said Todd crashed the stolen cab into a parking garage.

Two hours later he hailed a new one and held the cab driver at knife point.

Police, on the search for Todd, found him submerged in a water-cooling vat in Opryland where he was hiding.

We’ll discuss this on the show tonight at 9pm on Generation Zel! Radio!
