Bulgarian strongman terrifies Memphis jail inmates
UPI reports Harry Houcher described as the Bulgarian strongman shook the Memphis jail crying and beating bars after vowing to break free. He allegedly struck a deal with an officer for fish sandwiches, but the truce lasted about 29 minutes before he escalated. Houcher, a self-proclaimed Sofia refugee, was jailed for contributing to delinquency of a 13 year old found at the YMCA. Police faced heavy resistance, with five cars of officers to extract him. Sheriff Bill Marrs called him the toughest man he’d seen.
