Court records show Schrap is a fan of Insane Clown Posse or ICP. He has tattoos on his arms of the Detroit-based rap group whose followers are known as Juggalos. The attack happened during an August 27th ritual at Schrap's home to mark the one year anniversary of a fellow "brother" who died. Schrap is accused of using a machete to cut a 27-year-old woman's forearm before severing her pinky finger.

Schrap faces up to 52 and a half years in prison if he's convicted. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 6 at 10:00 AM.
