speechless here's County District DA Greg Neubauer at the news conference.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Not really at a loss for words very often, but
at the end of the day, we have a we
have a young teenager.

The savage attack occurred in their Carrollton home. Pennsylvania State
Police troopers were dispatched for a welfare check after a
neighbor whom the bloodied teen initially approached, claiming, quote someone

police arrived. Upon entering the home, troopers found both women dead,
their bodies riddled with multiple stab wounds to the head
and body. A criminal complaint revealed that three different kinds
of knives, all covered in blood, were recovered from a

blistering one hundred and seven miles per hour in Palm Coast.
Fifty seven year old Michael Stanik had the most hilarious
excuse in the book. Listened to what he told the
Flagler County deputy that was caught on body cam.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Why are you going so fast? I have a barber.
Have an appointment with your barber in New Spera and
New Sumrna, so you know, the car's kind of coaching.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
The deputy was not amused by this frantic dash for
a trim, especially since Stanik was allegedly weaving through traffic,
but he did not get snippy. Stanik's sheer madness earned
him a one way trip to the jail, putting his
hair goals on a permanent hold. He was charged with
dangerous excessive speeding and spent the night behind bars, later

(07:01):
being released on a one hundred and fifty dollars bond.
Guess this super speeder will have to cut his losses
and reschedule that appointment unless the jailhouse has a good clipper.
