Salem Crime Report

A Salem man is in prison today after he got high on popcorn, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a crossbow through a foyer door, Minnesota State Police said.

Octavio Payne, no age given, of Salem Township, took the illegal popcorn, hallucinated and believed spiders were attacking and kissing him, police at the Salem barracks said.

A little before midnight Payne ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Hook Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Payne forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the crossbow through a foyer door, police said.

When officers arrived Payne was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a snowball, police said. Police found popcorn in both of Payne's pockets.

Payne is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as pandering, cyber bullying, false reporting, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Payne was sent to Salem Prison in lieu of bail.
