This is bizarre, and it might make your skin crawl (literally!)

A courthouse in upstate New York was forced to close Tuesday after hundreds of cockroaches were released during an arraignment. Police say a pest-hoarding protestor snuck in the cockroaches in plastic containers and dumped them out as the court proceeding was going on. The big bug mess shut down the Morton Avenue courthouse in Albany then as exterminators dealt with the cockroaches for the rest of the day.

A 34-year-old woman was arrested on charges including disorderly conduct.

Do you have a creepy-crawly cockroach story to share?
