Banjo-playing suspect serenades cops in standoff.

Police said Andrew Helmsworth ran naked through the city's Ogden neighborhood while chasing his father with a 4-inch knife, according to The Columbian. He then barricaded himself in his home.
At one point, Helmsworth put on some shorts and emerged from the home with a banjo. He began playing for a captive audience of Vancouver police, SWAT officers, hostage negotiators and a K-9 unit.
There would be no encore. As Helmsworth turned to re-enter the house, witnesses said officers shot him with a nonlethal round.

If he was black and if that was any police department in the United States, that banjo would be up his arse right now.

And once THAT happened every liquor store and pawn shop in Ogden would burn to the ground.

The suspect appeared in Clark County Superior Court on Monday, wearing a suicide prevention vest and a grin. When prosecutors asked him if Andrew Helmsworth was his true name, he replied, "That is my given name, but I feel it doesn’t apply to me today," according to The Columbian.
This guy is great.
