Satanic Panic: Woman Tries To 'Melt' Deputies With Holy Water

EDGEWOOD, WA - Halloween is still about two months away, but things are already getting demonic in Edgewood. Early on Sunday morning, a woman drove her car into the Pierce County Sheriff's station there, and then tried to "melt" the deputies with holy water. She believed that they were devils.

The incident happened around 5:30 a.m. Sunday when an SUV rammed into the garage at the Edgewood police station. The deputy walked outside and saw red Ford Expedition backing into the garage.

When the deputy approached the SUV, he saw a woman inside holding a box cutter, a wooden staff, and a bottle of water. She said that she was fleeing from Satan and believed the police station to be "holy ground."

Police began talking to the woman and were able to disable her vehicle. She kept warning that she would douse the officers with the holy water to melt them. Edgewood Sgt. Glen Carpenter asked the woman to splash him with the water to prove he wouldn't melt.

At one point, the police were able to get the woman to drop the box cutter and open the car door. Suddenly, she grabbed the weapon, but was disarmed by a deputy. She then held up the holy water and threatened to melt Carpenter. He asked her, again, to douse him with the water - and she did.

"I didn't melt," Carpenter later wrote in a report of the incident.

That didn't convince the woman, and she continued to fight the officers and rant about devils. Four officers eventually restrained her so the fire department could take her to a medical facility. Police believe the woman was suffering a mental health crisis.
