Mothman Arrested for Breaking & Entering: "The light was on"

POINT PLEASANT — Star of the relatively successful 2002 horror/thriller, Mothman Prophecies, Mothman, expressed remorse earlier today after being booked for Breaking and Entering.

Police responded to a 911 call stating that a “large insect-man is flappin’ around my screened-in porch and knockin’ around all my plants and lights and stuff out there!”

911 dispatcher, Ronald Kelly, was reportedly trying to calm the homeowner when she screamed that, “It has now breached the front door! It just destroyed my mantle adorned with Patriotic Americana decor!”

The homeowner added that she paid good money for the wooden wall art that accurately expressed, “This is us — a little bit of crazy, a little bit of loud and a whole lot of love”.

Police say the mythical beast may also be charged with Criminal Mischief and Public Intoxication, although it’s unclear whether or not the humanoid-insect’s blood alcohol content can be measured in the typical fashion.

When police interrogated Mothman, pressing for a motive, he responded: “The light was on.”
