PIC: Man doesn’t qualify for benefits, unleashes bedbugs at city office, as you do

Night night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite.

A man in Maine brought that childhood nightmare mantra to life when he released a cup of live bedbugs, just because the government pissed him off.

According to CentralMaine.com, the Augusta City Centre had to be evacuated as around 100 bedbugs were released. The building was sprayed and a bedbug-detecting dog service was brought in to inspect the building before it could be reopened.

The man, who remains anonymous, released the tiny creatures after he was told by a city employee that he did not qualify for assistance (for, ironically, pests in his house).

He had collected the bedbugs in a cup, which he slammed on a counter in a fit of anger. Cue mayhem.
