MERRILLVILLE | A Gary man claiming to be God wanted his slippers -- right now.

Instead, he was arrested at a Merrillville Payless Shoes store.

Police filed two counts of attempted robbery, two counts of criminal confinement and intimidation charges against Richard Brewer Jr., Detective Jeff Rice said.

Brewer, 50, entered the store on Broadway about 1 p.m. Thursday, and asked two employees for socks and slippers. The employees gave Brewer the socks he was looking for, Rice said, and told him they didn't have the slippers.

Rice said Brewer then moved closer to the employees and told them he was God.

"He said 'When God speaks to you you're supposed to give him everything,'" Rice said.

1. They're going to crucify him for this.

Perhaps he can get his son to serve his sentence instead?

3. I was thinkin' this was about that bounty hunter

There's a bounty hunter who was in the news for getting arrested for falsifying a legal document by signing a check "God."

Then we found out that every time he picks someone up, they always say something like "Oh God, please don't take me in" or "Oh God, I promise I'll turn myself in." Gets called God so much, he's adopted it as his nickname.
