A 23-year-old New Mexico man who had been binge-watching The Walking Dead, allegedly beat his friend to death with a microwave and guitar because he thought he had started to "change into a zombie," police said.
Damon Perry was arrested Thursday for allegedly beating his friend, 23-year-old Christopher Paquin, to death, the Associated Press reported.
Perry attributed his actions to heavy drinking and watching the popular AMC television show The Walking Dead that focuses on a zombie apocalypse.

Police in Grants, New Mexico, responded to 911 calls from residents at an apartment complex who reported Perry was running around threatening people with a knife.
When cops arrived on the scene, two maintenance workers were restraining Perry, local TV station KOB reported.
An officer later found Paquin in a nearby apartment, who was pronounced dead on the scene.
The Grants Police Department did not immediately respond to a BuzzFeed News request for comment.
At the police station, Perry told detectives that while the two were drinking his friend started "to change into a zombie" and tried to bite him.
Perry then allegedly punched and kicked Paquin, hit him with an electric guitar, microwave, and other household objects.
Perry has been charged with an open count of murder and is being held at the Cibola County Detention Center on $800,000 cash only bond, Reuters reported.
