ECSO: Man Wearing ‘Homemade Knife Necklace’ Threatens Man, Kids
November 20, 2018
An Escambia County man was arrested after allegedly threatening a man and two children with knives.
John Stephen Bulla, 64, was charged with aggravated assault and two counts of felony child cruelty. He remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $30,000.
The victim reported that he heard a commotion outside, and when he went outside to investigate he found a man wearing a “homemade knife necklace” and holding a knife in each hand. The victim’s children had also followed him outside onto his porch.
When the victim threatened to call deputies, Bulla stated, “If you call the cops, I’ll kill you,” according to an arrest report, and then ran toward the man with a knife over his head. The victim then pushed his children inside and and locked his door as Bulla continued to yell.
When Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived, Bella initially refused to step outside. Deputies located the knife necklace and other weapons inside the home.

@Confused the guy that turned himself in for child porn on his phone had a bond of only 3000.00 dollars so yeah 30,000.00 seems a bit high in comparison. In actuality this guy is obviously mentally ill he shouldn’t even be in a jail cell he needs help and jail has never helped anyone.
???????, you can’t be serious about the bond being high.
This guy does look an awful lot like the Doctor from Love Boat!
Should’ve shot him in self defense, someone threatens me or my child with a knife and he’s dead, simple and shut case.
Well……He shore seems happy!
Looney Tunes!
I know this is a serious matter, but knife necklace sounds like a great band name.
This man came to my store every night 5 minutes before closing. He is crazy and needs help. Picture says it all.
Was not a neckles knife used to kill the deputy in Mobile about a year ago.
That’s weird. He doesn’t LOOK crazy…
I guess he,will go to the nut house with firestarter.
bond is awfully high!!!!!! drug dealers are alot lower.
Best. Mugshot. Ever.
I do not know what a homemade knife necklace is, but I bet the store bought one is better, but Amazon has it on backorder.
