Florida man threatens to behead officers, eat their eyes

This Florida man seems to have a favorite threat and that’s that he’ll ‘cut your head off.’

Not only did Ken Edward Freeman tell that to a man in the parking lot, but also told it to the cops that showed up after he threatened the first man.

It all started outside a sports store in a shopping complex in Brevard County.

Freeman and a man got into an altercation after making rude hand gestures at each other.

The 50-year-old got out of his vehicle with a large knife, held it to one side of the victim's ear and told him, "I'll cut your [expletive] head off in front of your family!"

Six Melbourne police officers responded to the 911 call that followed.

When they arrived, Freeman told threatened to "cut officers' heads off and eat their eyes and tongues."

He was quickly arrested and had multiple charges placed against him including one count of assault with intent to commit felony, one count of battery and six counts of threat with death, serious bodily harm to law enforcement officer.

Freeman is awaiting trial and has a bond of $18,500.
