The Howland Chainsaw Massacre

Howland, Maine was the scene of a reenactment of a scene from the horror classic, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. With a twist. This time, the chainsaw got it.

Lionel Dube Jr., 47, of Argyle, was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal threatening and violation of bail conditions after police responded to reports that he was waving the chain saw at passing motorists late Tuesday.

"You know how in the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' the guy raised his chain saw up and revved it? That's what he was doing," Deputy Sheriff Michael Knights said. "Alcohol was involved."

Knights and Maine State Police Trooper Thomas Fiske said they disarmed Dube at gunpoint near the Howland-Enfield Federal Credit Union. By that time, Dube's chain saw didn't pose much of a threat because the chain had fallen off, they said.

"It's not a common occurrence for this sleepy little town," said Gary Bragdon, the credit union's manager, who learned of the incident when he reported to work Wednesday morning.

That's right, Dube killed his chainsaw. (Don't you love that line? "Alcohol was involved." My sister married a Maine boy and I can absolutely hear the accent and the deadpan delivery of that line. Ayuh. Don't get me started on stupid lobster tricks.)
