NEWPORT CITY – Mark Shaw Jr., the man known on the Howard Stern Show as Bigfoot, appeared in Orleans County District Tuesday for a competency hearing.
Shaw recently underwent an inpatient psychiatric examination that found him incompetent. He is being held at the Fletcher Allen Healthcare Center on $50,000 bail. Shaw faces charges of attempted first degree arson, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

When police knocked on the door, Shaw became agitated.
He became even more upset when Chief Seth DiSanto announced himself. Shaw started making threats, including, “You want a **** war, I’ll give ya one,” DiSanto reported.

Sgt. Travis Bingham of the Newport City Police attempted to open the door to Shaw’s apartment with an entry tool. After several strikes, the door opened a few inches and Shaw shoved a sword through the opening, nearly striking DiSanto.

Police said Shaw screamed violently and ignored police orders to drop the sword. Police said Shaw barricaded his apartment door from the inside.

Shaw had threatened to set his apartment on fire if the police tried to enter. Police then smelled and saw smoke. DiSanto attempted to control the sword while Newport City Police Officer Aaron Lefebvre attempted to open the door. Once police had the door opened wide enough, they found

Shaw trying to fight for control of the sword.

Two probes from Bingham’s taser hit Shaw, whose nickname reflects his size. Shaw sat on the floor and attempted to remove the probes. He also grabbed a chair that he held in front of him and was still fighting police for control of the sword. Shaw continued to ignore DiSanto’s order to comply with police. Lefebvre again deployed his taser on Shaw, giving police the opportunity to take the sword and chair away from him.

Police finally were able to take Shaw into custody. Even then, Shaw continued to yell and scream loudly while police were in his apartment.

Oh shit! I live in Vermont but I hadn't heard about this. I guess we'll only be getting "Bigfoot Junior" on the radio from now on. No way would Howard let him in the studio after this. Thanks for posting it.

That person is Sal's aunt and most of the material is Sal talking in Big Foot's ear.

But Bigfoot lives in an apartment.. Apartments don't have yards.

Lol this story has everything, a big, out of control lunatic, swords, a taser, action, fire...

I must say, I didn't expect the sword at all... Lol, who owns a sword?

Nobody ever hears what happens in the Northern Kingdom, unless they're there.

I only live about an hour from there. I missed the local TV news broadcasts last night, I'll check the websites and see if they covered his court appearance.

I'm surprised the Newport paper covered this. They didn't bother covering his October lawsuit against the landlord.

The TV stations aren't going to bother with this story.

I guess that public defender drew the short straw

I predict she'll be filing her retirement paperwork soon.

It is, it is.

**Nemo** · 01-09-2013, 02:31 AM

it was only a matter of time before this happened.
stern dodges another bullet enabling and exploiting the mentally ill...for his show.

a couple of years ago sal and richard pranked called Bigfoot pretending to be the hospital he was at the day before. bigfoot makes a threat in the call to go back to the hospital and settle the score.

I predict Hanzi will be the next nut to be involved with the authorities....

Tapes Team working overnight shredding any incriminating recordings.

Nothing about it on the websites of the local TV stations. ABC22/FOX44 did a feature on Bigfoot about a year ago, I think they showed his sword. It's possible they'll cover his latest adventure.
