At 2AM on July 19th Michael W. Bolton age 45 broke into the room of Jeffrey Otto a 22yr old construction worker, armed with a hammer and a homemade wooden cross with one end carved into a spike. Both were guests at the laurel Hotel, Nanuet, Rockland County, New York State. Otto awoke just as Bolton prepared to hammer the cross into his heart in a manner straight out of a gothic novel. Otto wrestled the cross away, but Bolton pounded him repeatedly on the head, back, shoulder and neck with the hammer. Otto managed to escape, the noise awoke other guests and Bolton was arrested after he ran back into his room. He told the police that he had "Recieve orders from a higher authority" to attack Otto. He was charged with second degree attempted murder. NY post July 28, 2000
