Peking Crime Report

A Peking man is in prison today after he got high on egg drop soup, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a lariat through a library door, Colorado State Police said.

Aaron Oswald, no age given, of Peking Township, took the illegal egg drop soup, hallucinated and believed magpies were attacking and peeking at him, police at the Peking barracks said.

A little before midnight Oswald ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Keene Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Oswald forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the lariat through a library door, police said.

When officers arrived Oswald was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a branding iron, police said. Police found egg drop soup in both of Oswald's pockets.

Oswald is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as terroristic threats, minor in possession, sedition, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Oswald was sent to Peking Prison in lieu of bail.
