Somerville, New Jersey: March 17, 2003
Local police apprehended world enigma N8 as he torched stolen goldfish with a homemade flame-thrower, police said on Wednesday.
They discovered the odd character roasting the fish with a device made from a water pistol, a cigarette lighter, and a stolen gas canister.
"It was a lethal contraption. He was jolly lucky it didn't explode in his face," said a police spokesman.
Locals had alerted police on Tuesday after noticing a fire in a yard in the small town.
Police confiscated the flame-thrower, but were too late to save the goldfish, which were stolen from a neighbor's pond.
N8 is already on probation in Somerset County for previous acts of animal cruelty.
