Texas Man Accused of Carving Pentagram on 6-Year-Old's Back
A North Texas man carved a large pentagram into his 6-year-old son’s back Wednesday, telling a 911 dispatcher that he did it because “it’s a holy day,” police said.
In a matter-of-fact tone, Brent Troy Bartel told a dispatcher, “I shed some innocent blood,” according to a copy of the recording of his early Wednesday morning 911 call released by Richland Hills police. After the dispatcher said, “I’m sorry?” he repeated those words, then said he inscribed a pentagram on his son. When the dispatcher asked why, Bartel said, “because it’s a holy day” before hanging up.
