A Maryland judge has ordered two men held without bond on charges of attacking a housemate and trying to forcibly remove a tattoo from his arm. Investigators say 33-year-old Paul Martin Hurst of Hebron, Md., and 35-year-old Carey Lee Edwards of Williamsburg, Va, savagely beat the victim, then tried to carve and burn a tattoo from his arm. Wicomico County sheriff Mike Lewis says all three men are affiliated with the Juggalos, a cult fan base of the rap-metal duo Insane Clown Posse that the FBI has described as ganglike.
