Public safety faces vampire, dislocated eyebrow


Wednesday, December 02 2009
Unalaska, AK – Another vampire visited Unalaska last week. Around 10 pm last Wednesday officers arrested a man who claimed to be a vampire and bit his roommate twice on the arm. The two men were arguing when Andrew Philemonof Jr. allegedly jumped off his bunk and chomped down on his roommate's appendage. The roommate pushed the alleged vampire away and the two men remained in the same room until public safety officers arrived on the scene. Philemonof was arrested on one count of Assault IV - DV. He was intoxicated at the time of the event and now denies being one of the blood-thirsty undead.
The last vampire appearance in Unalaska was about a year and a half ago when a late night bicyclist claimed the identity.
Another biting incident occurred last week as well. Public safety officers were contacted by clinic staff on Wednesday morning after a man arrived at the clinic with his eyebrow in his hand. It was reportedly bitten off during a fight over ethnic backgrounds in a cab the evening before. Public safety is still investigating the case and says it was one of the community's most severe biting incidents on record. Clinic staff could not sew the eyebrow back on because the man had frozen it the evening before to preserve it.
