After seeing the story on News 25, I had to post this on our website because of the oddball who is the perpetrator in this case.  This guy's mugshort was too good not to share.  Here's the whacked out backstory on this old fool from news25.us

KNOX COUNTY, IN - A Wheatland, IN man is arrested after Indiana State Police and Knox County Deputies say they found marijuana plants, and a battered woman in a home on Washington Road.

The Troopers and Deputies were called to the home on a welfare check Tuesday afternoon.  Once inside, they say they found 53-year-old Brian Brumett hiding in a closet.  They also say they found evidence that his wife had been beaten.

While troopers were talking to Brumett, they say they spotted more than a dozen cultivated marijuana plants nearby.  According to Senior Trooper Bill Gadberry, some of the plants were about five feet tall.

Brumett now faces charges of domestic battery and cultivating marijuana.  He is being held in the Knox county jail without bond. 

Still, what a F**king mugshot!!  As good as Mel Gibson, Gary Busey and Michael Jackson doncha think?
