Toronto Crime Report

A Toronto man is in prison today after he got high on beef bouillon, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a bullwhip through a basement door, Kansas State Police said.

Lester Banks, no age given, of Toronto Township, took the illegal beef bouillon, hallucinated and believed elk were attacking and double-crossing him, police at the Toronto barracks said.

A little before midnight Banks ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Jude Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Banks forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the bullwhip through a basement door, police said.

When officers arrived Banks was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a peacemaker, police said. Police found beef bouillon in both of Banks's pockets.

Banks is charged with embezzlement, a felony, as well as public intoxication, being a blithering idiot, eavesdropping, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Banks was sent to Toronto Prison in lieu of bail.
