Tulsa Police Arrest Bully with Horns

Marie Lowe
This Tulsa,Oklahoma man is the subject of many jokes around the state and across the Internet.

Jesse Andrew Thornhill, also known as "horny man" and "the man with horns," was arrested this week by Tulsa police after he allegedly tried to run down his landlord with a car.

Following his arrest for assault with a dangerous weapon, Thornhill, 28, was booked into the Tulsa County jail.

After that his mug shot hit the airwaves.

The mug can be found on many websites including the New York Daily News, most Oklahoma news sites and even the CBS News website just to name a few.

The reporters and writers are having a blast cracking jokes including one who jokingly questioned if the horns could be two large pimples that need to be popped.

Others question who would do this to themselves and what would you do if your daughter brought him home?

The other obvious questions is what doctor would do such a surgery?

Well according to Wikipedia, Steve Haworth invented the horn implant.

Police usually make note of tattoos or scars or other identifiers of a person, in this case horns were noted as "personal oddities along with neck tattoos, implant earrings on the head.

In the affidavit, police say they responded to 1203 South Delaware Place in reference to a disturbance.

Upon arrival they spoke with Thornhill's mother, who said she and her neighbor have been having problems with Thornhill.

The landlord told police that Thornhill "attempted to strike her with his 1996 Ford Windstar mini-van but missed" due to her "jumping out of the vehicle's path."

Thornhill was located at 1344 South Florence Place and arrested.

Thornhill is charged with a facing count of assault with a dangerous weapon and was later released after posting $10,000 bond.

    I saw a show about this, people putting in implants in their faces. Weird, but I guess it's along the lines of plastic surgery.

    Here's what I think happened – too many people started asking, "What will they think of next?" And all the Jesse Andrew Thornhills stepped forward to answer.

    PS, and you're right...what doctor or surgeon in his or her right mind would do surgery like this. Makes you wonder about them.

    Yes, sad indeed. I love these articles. If more writers like you were out there, we'd be a lot safer. Thanks Marie for keeping an eye out for such as these. You're a true blessing "neighbor".

    I actually saw someone with horns like this once, whatever it takes I guess.

    Aside from his arrest...why would someone want to mark their body up like this??

    To each their own ~ if I start seeing people with horns will know where I first heard about them.
