    A coach tripper has left US police stunned after he managed to commit more than 11 crimes during a nine-hour stopover.

    William Todd, 24, was arrested after terrorising the city of Nashville - cramming in a hatful of alleged crimes including arson and defecating in an office.

    Todd had taken a Greyhound bus from Kentucky to Nashville where he began his ‘unprecedented’ crime spree.

    After arriving in Nashville at 3am, he allegedly broke into a locked-up haunted house attraction where he stole a Taser, revolver, shotgun and a T-shirt before setting the building on fire.

    Todd then allegedly held four people at gunpoint and robbed them outside a bar – using the Taser on one and pistol-whipping another.

    He was said to have made off with their cash and credit cards.

    Shortly after, police said Todd carjacked a taxi driver at gunpoint. After leaving the taxi, he used the credit cards he had stolen from the four victims to buy $199 (£125) worth of food and items at a Walmart store.

    And his shocking crime spree didn’t end there. Todd then broke into a hotel’s legal office, ransacked the place and defecated over desks – smearing his faeces over some framed law degree documents.

    Later, CCTV caught Todd with a long red ponytail impersonating a female housekeeper in the hotel where he allegedly took $600 (£377) from a Canadian couple at gunpoint. He was said to be crying throughout this particular incident.

    Then things turned even stranger. At some point in the hotel he shaved off his hair. CCTV footage showed Todd leaving the hotel minus his barnet.

    By 11 am, police said Todd had crashed a stolen cab into a parking garage and hailed another, commandeering it at knifepoint.

    When officers eventually caught up with him at lunchtime, he was found partially submerged in a water-cooling vat on the roof of a shopping centre.

    A fire crew was brought in to assist in Todd's removal from the vat.

    Sergeant Tony Blackburn told Nashville’s NBC: “He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before.

    “He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights. There definitely could be more charges. We hope that there are no more victims”

    His bond was set at $180,000 ($117,000).

    I won't be taking Todd's advice in the next "What to do in Nashville" thread.

    I wonder if that was enough to earn him 6 stars?? He should have entered the code for the Apache helicopter.

    It is strange that he was crying while doing the crime spree. I wonder if they will do drug tests. He seemed to be really off his rocker.

    My favorite part, other than the feces, of course, is this oft-printed quote from the cop. You know he didn't say "on a terror;" he said "on a tear," and his accent added a syllable, but the reporter wasn't southern.

    "Yup, I'd say that one there was on a tay-ur."

    11 offenses in 9 hours, that's got to be some kind of record. Someone is going to have some fan mail from female admirers.
