Mark A. Metzger III, a criminal defense and personal injury attorney, in remarks given in the wake of his arrest earlier this week for strolling down the beach in Galveston, Texas, while wielding a fake bloody knife and dressed as “Halloween” horror film character, Michael Myers. He says this is the first time one of his stunts has been met with “lethal force.” Metzger received a citation for disorderly conduct.
