BALTIMORE, Maryland - (AP) - Authorities say a Baltimore city police officer pulled his gun on a chain-saw-wielding haunted house worker who was trying to get "one last scream" out of him.

Baltimore County police say Sgt. Eric Janik has been charged with assault for pulling his service weapon on the worker, who was dressed up as the killer from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Police say the employee approached Janik after the haunted house tour was over Sunday night. Police say Janik pulled his service weapon and pointed it at the man's chest. The man dropped the chain saw, which had no chain and was not dangerous.

Charging documents show that Janik smelled of alcohol and told different stories about what he did with the gun.

Janik has been suspended with pay, pending a formal suspension hearing.

Get right with God and you won’t have this demon thing to worry about. The devil can’t cross someone who is saved.

I heard the same thing, my friend watched it and she made her boyfriend stay the night with her, and made him wake up to stand outside the door while she used the bathroom and to walk downstairs with her to get something to drink. I dont think I will be watching that!
