Glendale Crime Report

A Glendale man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a catheter through an atrium door, Georgia State Police said.

Lear Friedman, no age given, of Glendale Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed tropical fish were attacking and calling the cops on him, police at the Glendale barracks said.

A little before midnight Friedman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Finney Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Friedman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the catheter through an atrium door, police said.

When officers arrived Friedman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a fishing pole, police said. Police found roast turkey in both of Friedman's pockets.

Friedman is charged with desertion, a felony, as well as fabrication of evidence, lewd conduct, white collar crime, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Friedman was sent to Glendale Prison in lieu of bail.
