The devil went down to Florida

[ashling]

A 54-year-old Florida man has been arrested after allegedly trying to perform an exorcism on his 80-year-old girlfriend.

Police say on Monday, David Edward Benes grabbed the woman at the home they share in Holiday, holding her down and telling her he was going to "exorcise her and get the devil out of her," the Tampa Bay Times reported.

He then allegedly took her car keys and "dismantled the garage" to prevent her from leaving, according to an affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun. The complaint also states he took the batteries out of all the phones in the residence so she couldn't call for help.

Exorcisms can be dangerous, and not just for the alleged demons that ail you. In June, a Wyoming woman involved in an exorcism stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest. She survived, though there's been no word on the condition of the poltergeist.
