An Indiana man was slapped with 10 charges after he allegedly fatally shot his father and dismembered his corpse after believing him to be a robot.

Shawn Hays, 53, of Lawrence County, Indiana, was arrested Dec. 20 after deputies responded to a welfare check call on his 73-year-old father Rodney Hays, according to a probable cause affidavit cited by local Fox affiliate WXIN.

The person who called the police informed them that Hays told them that he had shot and mutilated his father because he had been turned into a robot.
