Birmingham Crime Report

A Birmingham man is in prison today after he got high on tuna casserole, barricaded himself in the game room and stabbed a potato masher through a ballroom door, Oklahoma State Police said.

Lear Clooney, no age given, of Birmingham Township, took the illegal tuna casserole, hallucinated and believed mountain goats were attacking and stopping him, police at the Birmingham barracks said.

A little before midnight Clooney ran to a neighbor's house in the 300 block of Bentzinger Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Clooney forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the game room, destroying the room and stabbing the potato masher through a ballroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Clooney was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blank stare, police said. Police found tuna casserole in both of Clooney's pockets.

Clooney is charged with evading arrest, a felony, as well as fraud, forcible entry, telemarketing fraud, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Clooney was sent to Birmingham Prison in lieu of bail.
