In a gripping turn of events on September 1, 1980, authorities in Vanhorn, Texas found themselves embroiled in a tense six-hour standoff with an escaped criminal believed to be a hired killer.

This man turned out to be Charles Voyde Harrelson, the father of renowned Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson.

Driven to madness by the effects of cocaine injection, Charles Harrelson was in a delusional state, convinced that a bomb was concealed within his car’s muffler.

In a frenzied act, he halted his vehicle on the roadside and recklessly fired shots at the car, rupturing one of its tires.

In a bizarre and alarming spectacle, Harrelson, clad only in cutoff jeans and flashy gold chains, took himself hostage.

Pressing the barrel of his gun against his own chin, he issued threats of self-harm and made outlandish claims, including boasting about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

His criminal record showed a prior incarceration in 1973 for murder, from which he was released early due to good behavior.

However, in 1981, he received two life sentences for the killing of federal judge John H Wood Jr, marking the first assassination of a federal judge in the 20th Century.

Recent revelations have cast a fresh spotlight on the tumultuous life and criminal exploits of Charles Harrelson, particularly in connection to Hollywood celebrities.

Stirring up intrigue, it has come to light that he may have sired not just one but potentially two renowned A-list stars.
