Florida woman arrested in booby-trapped home filled with over 3,700 knives and other horrors

Police found more than 3,700 knives, swords and blades cluttered inside a freaky Florida woman’s mobile home Tuesday night — and then she took one of her weapons and tried to stab an officer, police said.

“This person was obviously dangerous to the community,” Hernando County Sheriff Al Nienhuis told WFLA about the blade lover, Nickcole Dykema, 47.

“It amazes me that these deputies were able to take her into custody without anyone being injured.

But some officers were injured later, while clearing the 3,714 sharp objects out of the pointy pad. She appeared to have "booby-trapped" some of her floors, blankets and parts of her yards with knives, and some officers received "minor injuries" while clearing the space, police said Thursday. It took nearly a day to remove all the weapons.

Dykema’s Brooksville dwelling was a true house of horrors — besides the colossal cutters collection, police found chicken bones, rubber body parts, fake skulls and pentagram posters, in a scene Neinhuis described as satanic, Bay News 9 reported.

Police came to the home to serve an arrest warrant for felony probation violation and carrying a concealed weapon. When officers arrived, they saw her staring at them through a broken window. She cursed at officers and told them to leave, refusing orders to come outside, police said.

After officers forced entry into the darkened home, she tried to attack one cop with a machete, missing his head by inches and resisting a bean bag another officer fired at her.

1. wtf ever happened to the 1st amendment?

I mean, aside from a probation violation this Florida woman had a right to possess all that cwap. It's not like she had thousands of rounds of ammo or hundreds of firearms.

For some strange reason I almost understand her plight.

Of course the sheriff went the "satanic" route. What else could he justify the search on?

3. They didn't need to justify anything since they already had a warrant for her arrest.

All they had to do was announce it, which they did.

Her response was to lock the doors and try to lop off a cops head when they entered to arrest her.

Still though, the description is debatable - Personally, I'd have went with bat shit crazy over satanic, but I don't think papers would be willing to print that.

5. She wasn't arrested for having "satanic posters" or having a knife collection

It was because of the arrest warrant for probation violation is what they were arresting her for. Then when officers tried to arrest her she swung a machete at one of them and put up a fight.

In another article I read she also took a knife and slashed at a neighbor's window screens in a earlier incident.

She likely has some mental illness going on too.
