Davenport Crime Report

A Davenport man is in prison today after he got high on oatmeal, barricaded himself in the bedroom and stabbed a squirt gun through a tool shed door, Alabama State Police said.

Dax Wagner, no age given, of Davenport Township, took the illegal oatmeal, hallucinated and believed prairie dogs were attacking and belittling him, police at the Davenport barracks said.

A little before midnight Wagner ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Morrison Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Wagner forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the squirt gun through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Wagner was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a supply of courage, police said. Police found oatmeal in both of Wagner's pockets.

Wagner is charged with second degree murder, a felony, as well as being ugly in public, libel, harassment, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Wagner was sent to Davenport Prison in lieu of bail.
