Thomas McGowan should’ve thought twice before trying to hide from the law in the home of Jimmy Morgan Jr.

The Texas man, who was evading police after they suspected that he was driving a stolen vehicle, broke into Morgan’s home through the window. Morgan immediately grabbed a spear and stabbed McGowan.
“He started retreating and I started advancing and I was stalking him here, you never cross your legs, and I cornered him right here,” said Morgan, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia after leaving the military.
McGowan escaped, but not without suffering injuries to the hand and shoulder.
“As he was running, he smeared blood from here to high heaven and he splattered here and he splattered there and splattered all over there. It was like a deer,” Morgan said.
So, why did Morgan have a spear in the first place? It turns out that he’s a member of the Society for Creative Anarchronism, which is a group that recreates medieval culture.
“It’s a medieval fighting and we do use spears and swords and things of that nature,” Morgan said. “I don’t have a firearm so I have a short spear, very quick, very agile and very deadly.”
Police eventually detained McGowan, who was determined to have been driving his own car after all. After being treated for his injuries, McGowan was nevertheless booked with evading arrest with a vehicle, driving while intoxicated and criminal trespass of a habitation.
