A man arrested back in October 2013 for attacking a hunter while naked and claiming to be a Sasquatch was sentenced to 10 years in prison. A jury determined on March 10th 2015 that Linus Norgren was guilty of attempted murder and second degree assault. Norgren had been off of his bi-polar treatment when he viciously attacked Jeff McDonald, telling him “Sasquatch kills the hunter” before knocking him unconscious with a rock and breaking and dislocating both of McDonalds arms.

The story from 2013:
 

MANNING, Ore. (KPTV) — A naked man who reportedly made a reference to Sasquatch attacked a hunter with a rock in a remote wooded area of Oregon Thursday morning, police said.

Deputies were called to the Manning area north of Banks in unincorporated Washington County at 9 a.m.

They said a naked man attacked the hunter, but the hunter was eventually able to get the upper hand and held the nude suspect at gunpoint until authorities could reach the scene.

The victim said the suspect, identified as Linus Norgren, 20, made a reference to Sasquatch before his violent outburst.

The 58-year-old hunter said Norgren used a rock the size of an apple to hit him on the head multiple times. The victim said the naked man also used a piece of clothing to choke him.

When Norgren stopped the attack, the victim used his hunting rifle to keep the suspect in the area. Deputies said the man had the gun on Norgren when they finally found the scene.

Deputies still don’t have a motive for the attack or a reason why Norgren was naked.

He was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries and then booked in jail on charges of second-degree assault, strangulation and menacing. Additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.

The hunter was taken to the hospital. Deputies did not believe his injuries were life-threatening.
