Tallahassee Crime Report

A Tallahassee man is in prison today after he got high on cinnamon toast, barricaded himself in the living room and stabbed a witty reparteé through a master bathroom door, Iowa State Police said.

Morton Boyd, no age given, of Tallahassee Township, took the illegal cinnamon toast, hallucinated and believed lynxes were attacking and blinking at him, police at the Tallahassee barracks said.

A little before midnight Boyd ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Dayton Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Boyd forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the living room, destroying the room and stabbing the witty reparteé through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Boyd was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a hedge trimmer, police said. Police found cinnamon toast in both of Boyd's pockets.

Boyd is charged with abuse of authority, a felony, as well as smoking, prostitution, swearing, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Boyd was sent to Tallahassee Prison in lieu of bail.
