76-year-old Guy Allen Black of Turbotville, PA, is currently being held on $100,000 bail after attacking his roommate with a chainsaw. Black reportedly used the appliance made famous by Leatherface to cut through the door of the home he shared with Ronald Lee Tanner, then rushed him with it. According to state police, Black was furious that Tanner changed the locks on the home that he owns. 

Black hacked his way through an interior door after entering through the basement, then chased Tanner out of the home with the chainsaw. Black got close enough to Tanner for the chainsaw to get stuck in Tanner's shirt, but that caused it to jam, giving Tanner the chance to pin him down with an umbrella. Tanner managed to escape the ordeal without injury.
