Freak in Scream Mask Terrorizes Walmart

Kind of looks like our Uncle Mort....
Shopping at Walmart is supposed to be an activity of peace and serenity -- a moment where you can leave your troubles behind and explore aisle after aisle of majestically rolled-back prices. That tranquility was shattered at a Cleveland, Texas Walmart Sunday night by a maniac in a Scream mask.

The store had to be evacuated after the culprit "allegedly mixed several chemicals inside a plastic tote in the store," according to YourClevelandNews's summary of Cleveland Police Department's report.

According to the report, "This chemical mixture created a gas that filled a section of the store. One store employee was transported to Cleveland Regional Medical Center for evaluation due to difficulty breathing and was later released."

Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the alleged perp, which may be a little difficult given the fact that the person was wearing a Scream mask. (Personally, that's a police lineup we'd love to see.) We do, however, think the Scream mask is a little played-out, and would have preferred if the culprit worked a little harder on his or her costume.

If anyone has information about who this freak might be, please call the Cleveland Police Department at 281-592-2622 or the department's tip line, 281-592-0800. All callers may remain anonymous.
