There are some exceptionally bizarre excuses for criminal behavior out there. One man in West Haven, Connecticut has been accused of punching and choking a woman.

The suspect, 40-year-old Louis Hubbard later admitted he had smoked marijuana which was laced with horse tranquilizer. The female victim, who was an acquaintance of the suspect, had picked Hubbard up to go for a drive.

However things went horribly wrong during the ride. She was able to get away from Hubbard after the assault and quickly contacted police.

Cops soon arrived. While conversing with the lady, Hubbard reportedly approached officers and appeared to be under the influence.

Hubbard wasn’t exactly friendly and police were forced to use a stun gun in an effort to calm him down. He was taken to a nearby hospital, which is when he confessed to staff members that he smoked the bizarre concoction.

Hubbard has now been charged with a laundry list of charges, including interfering with police officers, second-degree strangulation, second-degree breach of peace, third-degree assault and interfering with an emergency call.

Hubbard has been released from the hospital and is in police custody on $20,000 bail.
