The attorney appointed to defend Lyle Monroe Bensley said his client was “drugged”.
While the moon was full Lyle broke into a 58 year old woman ‘s apartment. While she was asleep and bit her several times on the neck. He was growling and hissing as he dragged her down a hall way. He had hit here several times and it was while he was dragging her that she managed to escape.
There are reports that he actually chased her in to the parking lot of her apartment at 7820 Seawall Blvd in Galveston, Texas. She was able to escape with the assistance of a neighbors who got her in their car. They said he ran after them and beat on the windows as they drove away.
Lyle claimed to be a 500 year old vampire and he needed ,”to feed”
His victim called the police and described her attacker as a young male with tattoos all over his body, wearing noting but boxer shorts. He was found hiding in the parking lot.
The EMS nor the police officers thought he was under the influence of drugs but they ordered a mental health evaluation. The mental health receiving personal should have ordered a drug screen as soon as they received him for evaluation.
In my experience as a nurse, within five minutes of receiving him in the healthcare system someone would have an order for a drug screen. Rohynol is still present in the urine for 5 days after it is taken and up to a month in hair samples
He claims he was at a party and was given Rohypnol in the punch served at the party.
My question is:
#1 _ If he received it (Rohyponol) unwillingly, how did he know it was in the punch?
#2_ Rahypnol is a sedative. He must have been super human if he was able to run after a screaming fighting woman and chase a car.
