| By Sandy Maggin A teenage male was arrested last night at the Luthor mansion after he allegedly attacked Lex Luthor. Deputy Ethan Miller reported, "Jeff Palmer, a Smallville High School student, whose parents worked as caretakers at the estate, must of beat Lex Luthor outside and then drug him into the main building. We do know that Luthor had just sent Palmer's mother and sister to Metropolis and are still trying to figure out what happened."
Someone from inside the Scottish castle placed an emergency call, and deputies arrived moments later. They noticed the lock on the front door was destroyed and heard noises coming from inside a room known as the armory because it houses medieval weaponry. They witnessed Lex Luthor stumbling around and Jeff Palmer, | unconscious and covered with paint, lying on the far side of the room. Lowell County chief paramedic Jake Ruddzehn responded to the call and looked puzzled as he said, "We discovered a kind of green, shimmering gel--an unknown substance--underneath the paint on Palmer's skin." Medical authorities are investigating as to whether Palmer had some sort of allergic reaction to the green substance and became violent. In any case, the youth will eventually be sent to Metropolis General for psychological evaluation.
Luthor recalls that he never even saw anyone hit him, but he remembers being outside and then mysteriously waking up in the armory. The fertilizer prince was treated by his personal physician and given a clean bill of health.
