Sunnyvale Crime Report

A Sunnyvale man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the family room and stabbed an épée through a cage door, Minnesota State Police said.

Brandon Brooks, no age given, of Sunnyvale Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed bison were attacking and complimenting him, police at the Sunnyvale barracks said.

A little before midnight Brooks ran to a neighbor's house in the 2200 block of Witherbee Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Brooks forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the family room, destroying the room and stabbing the épée through a cage door, police said.

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

Brooks is charged with winking, a felony, as well as forcible entry, domestic violence, escape from lawful custody, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Brooks was sent to Sunnyvale Prison in lieu of bail.
