Allentown Man Arrested for Homicides, Fluffy Lion Slippers

By Malcolm Owen | Jan 29, 2008

I have to admit to you all right now, I am an internet junkie. That’s right, I spend my time looking at my 3 computer screens (2 on PC plus the Macbook) looking for the latest and greatest of offbeat randomness. This does impact what I wear somewhat, namely I want to be as comfortably dressed as possible whilst spending hours on the information superhighway. Of course, if I want to do something else, such as leave the house to visit someone, or to go to work in an office, I will make myself look presentable. Or at least attempt it.

And then, we find someone who’s more relaxed over clothing

Allentown police had suspected William Torres of dealing drugs in the city. But an undercover narcotics investigation yielded much more, and resulted in Torres, 21, being charged early Saturday with two counts of homicide.

Ok, so we have someone who takes life seriously enough to be doing highly illegal stuff. He’s killed people. He therefore must look sharp. I’m expecting a Samuel L Jackson level of coolness here…

Torres was driving on Turner Street Friday afternoon when he was pulled over by police and arrested. He was wearing a hooded sweartshirt with a skull-head pattern on it, pajama bottoms and fuzzy lion-faced slippers at the time. He was still wearing the get-up when he was arraigned after midnight at Lehigh County prison.

Wait, what?
Fuzzy lion slippers? Hooded sweatshirt (at least I spelt it right…) patterned with skulls? Pyjamas? Someone who kills others dresses like this? Well, I would think it would be from being arrested at home, except that he was DRIVING when he was arrested. He actively chose to go outside in this gear to do something. What exactly was he thinking?

And yes, there is a photo
