Copycat 'zombie attack': Miami homeless man high on 'Cloud 9' drug growls, tries to bite police officer

Suspect was busted bothering customers at
a Boston Market

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
have said there's no threat of a "zombie
apocalypse," but Miami police might disagree.
A homeless man who was busted hassling
customers in a Boston Market in North Miami
Beach on Saturday told police he wanted to
"eat" them and tried to bite an officer, cops
said.

After cops yanked him from the chicken joint
and put him in a police cruiser, Brandon De
Leon, 21, slammed his head against the
plexiglass divider and shouted at officers, "I'm
going to eat you," NBC Miami reported.
He then growled, gnashed his teeth and tried to
bite the hand of an officer attempting to treat
his head wounds.
"Brandon growled and opened and closed his
jaw, slamming his teeth like an animal would,"
the report said.
Cops placed restraints on De Leon and fit him
with a Hannibal Lecter-style bite mask, the
report said.

But once in a jail cell, De Leon continued the
flesh-eating act, snarling and growling, police
said.
De Leon and Brian Yerdon, 33, who was also
arrested, had been guzzling rum and Four Loko
before the bust, according to local reports.
Hospital blood tests showed that De Leon was
also high on marijuana, Xanax and a designer
drug called "Cloud 9" — known as synthetic pot
or herbal incense — which can produce
hallucinogenic effects similar to “bath salts,” the
drug thought to be connected to last month's
face-eating attack on Miami's MacArthur
Causeway.

North Miami Beach linked the two cases in a
department-wide email.
"This bears resemblance to the incident that
occurred in the City of Miami last week when a
male ate another man's face," the email to the
officers said, according to WPTV television.
In bond court on Tuesday, De Leon told the
judge he didn't remember anything from that
night.
His bond was set at $7,500 on charges of
disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
