NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - Metro police say they've never encountered a man quite like William Todd, who they say in just nine hours managed to wreak havoc on Nashville.
"He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before," said Sgt. Tony Blackburn.
Police said Todd traveled to Nashville on a Greyhound bus. During his nine-hour layover, officers said he committed more than 10 felonies.
Officers said Todd broke into the Slaughterhouse and stole a Taser, revolver and shotgun. Then, they said he shot the business up, stole a T-shirt and set the business on fire.
Police said Todd then found four people leaving a local bar. He held them at gunpoint, tased one, pistol whipped another, then took off with their cash and credit cards.
Five minutes later investigators said Todd carjacked a cab at gunpoint, then headed off to commit fraud, and used his newly acquired stolen credit cards to buy food.
"He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items," said Blackburn.
Next stop: Hotel Indigo at 6 a.m.
Police said Todd broke into a law office there, ransacked the business then defecated on a desk, smearing feces on some of the framed law degrees.
He then knocked on several hotel room doors pretending to be a female housekeeper.
In one case, police said Todd stole $600 from a Canadian couple at gunpoint, crying the whole time.
Before taking off in his stolen cab once again, officers said Todd opted for a new look.
"We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head," said Blackburn.
At 9 a.m., police said Todd crashed the stolen cab into a parking garage.
At 11:30 a.m., he hailed a new one and headed to Opryland, then held the cab driver at knifepoint.
Police finally caught up with Todd at noon. They said he was hiding on top of Opryland, submerged in a water-cooling vat with water up to his nose.
It was just a quick nine-hour pit stop in Nashville, but now Todd won't be headed home any time soon.
"He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights. There definitely could be more charges. We hope that there are no more victims," said Blackburn.
Todd is now facing 11 felony charges. Officers said he's also wanted out of Kentucky.

This Mobb Deep story has taken another strange twist. As we previously reported, Havoc supposedly had his cell phone stolen by someone who went on to verbally attack Prodigy via Twitter.
Havoc told several media outlets Monday evening that everything was all good between him and Illuminati P.
"To all Mobb Deep fans: it’s business as usual! It’s Mobb Deep all day!!! My twitter account @THEREALHAVOC will be down until further notice. The only other real account is @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP. Ignore the rest. One!" Havoc said.
However, this morning Power 105's The Breakfast Club trio of Angela Yee, DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God played audio of a person said to be Havoc, and he is dissing his partner in rhyme similarly to what had been written on Twitter a day earlier.
"I don't have nothing against gay people or nothing like that, but I'm just saying look... Watch and then n*ggas in the jail come out from the woodwork and they're gonna tell you what the f*ck this n*gga was doing," says the voice on the audio. "He gay! I had to smack him like a month and a half ago at SXSW."
Yee then called up N.O.R.E. formerly of Capone-N-Noreaga. N.O.R.E. knows both Prodigy and Havoc from back in the day and he confirms that the voice on the tape is Havoc's.
It will be interesting to see if there is a response from the Mobb Deep camp sometime soon.
**UPDATE**
Havoc calls into The Breakfast Club to deny it is him on the audio.
Havoc continues to say that he lost his phone. The Breakfast Club says they have more audio including information about Mobb Deep meeting today to disband the group.
Props to RR for the audio

On February 19, 2012 one of the best singers of all time was laid to rest. Whitney Houston was an entertainer with unmatched talent and she was given a very lavish funeral by officials in Newark, New Jersey.
The funeral cost the city's taxpayer's more than $187,000 in police overtime, roughly 5% of the budget for the year and some citizens are upset about that.
“I think it’s absolutely ridiculous when you have people who are unemployed and homeless, people walking up and down the streets,” Newark resident Quincy Ruffin told CBS New York. "If they wanted it to go that far, do that much, they should have been the ones providing for it."
Others were upset they weren't allowed near the funeral that was attended by many stars like R. Kelly, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder and more.
“I think it was a waste of time and then now we find out what happened and how she actually died, it makes you think twice saying was it worth it or not,” resident Minerva DelValle said.
In the end city officials feel like they did the right thing by bringing in extra police.
“I was able to be witness to the thousands upon thousands of people who were desperate to attend service but held back by barriers and officers of the law,” said Democratic Councilwoman Mildred Crump. “If they had not been there someone may have been trampled, seriously hurt.”

The rap world was in shock Monday [April 9] when it looked like Queens legends Prodigy and Havoc might be parting ways, but now it looks like news was bogus.
Havoc reached out to several media outlets late Monday to explain that his phone had been stolen, resulting in an impostor sending out several disparaging tweets about Prodigy.
“Just getting back into NY after my Easter weekend with family and friends in Jersey. I left my phone at a gas station yesterday evening while on my way to Jersey after a glorious Knick’s game," Havoc wrote.
"To all Mobb Deep fans: it’s business as usual! It’s Mobb Deep all day!!! My twitter account @THEREALHAVOC will be down until further notice. The only other real account is @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP. Ignore the rest. One!”
Havoc's account on the social networking site no longer exists, but Prodigy finally broke his silence on the subject via his Twitter page.

When the song comes on the nightclubs light up, a sure fire sign you have a hit on your hands. That's the reaction you get when the DJ spins LoveRance's hit "Up" which features 50 Cent.
Billboard.Biz reports that it was 50's verse that helped propel the song towards its current chart success. The track was sent to radio in October 2011 and peaked at No. 70 on the charts during it's initial 19-week run.
Once 50 hopped on it the song it re-entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and now sits at No. 7.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a website with a boatload of pictures is now worth $1 billion.
That is the price Facebook agreed to pay for Instagram, a less-than two-year-old company that makes a wildly popular mobile photography application.
"I'm excited to share the news that we've agreed to acquire Instagram and that their talented team will be joining Facebook," Facebook's head honcho Mark Zuckerberg said in a posting on Facebook (where else?) Monday.
Facebook, which is busy planning an initial public offering that could value the social networking at more than $100 billion, will pay a combination of cash and stock for Instagram, Reuters reported. Based in San Francisco, Instagram has about a dozen employees. The deal is expected to close by June 30.
"For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests," Zuckerberg said in his Facebook post.
Facebook is expected to raise up to $10 billion in its IPO, which could come in May or June.
Last year, Facebook reportedly was planning to add filters and other tools to its mobile photography app to match Instagram's popular filters, which allow users to manipulate images to make them look old-timey and add other kinds of effects. The aim was to attract Instagram users and meet a competitive threat.
"We’re psyched to be joining Facebook and are excited to build a better Instagram for everyone," Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom said in a statement.
He also promised the acquisition would not alter the Instagram experience for its approximately 30 million users.
"The Instagram app will still be the same one you know and love. You’ll still have all the same people you follow and that follow you. You’ll still be able to share to other social networks. And you’ll still have all the other features that make the app so fun and unique," Systrom said.
Last week, Instagram made the long-awaited announcement that its app was available for users who run Google's Android on their smartphones. Prior to that it was only available on iPhones. The Android app reportedly nabbed about 1 million downloads in the first 24 hours.
The acquisition was a strategic departure for Facebook, which until now has been content with buying startups on the cheap for their talent. Instagram will run as an independent app with its own brand.
"This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users," Zuckerberg said. "We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all."
Since Instagram's founding in the autumn of 2010, it has gathered about $50 million in venture funding. That includes about $500,000 in seed investment in March 2010 from Andreesen Horowitz and Baseline Ventures, according to the website Crunchbase.
Last year the company raised another $7 million, and this year the company just closed a $50 million round of funding that valued the company at $500 million, according to TechCrunch, meaning those investors virtually doubled their money overnight.
