Corona Crime Report

A Corona man is in prison today after he got high on beans, barricaded himself in the atrium and stabbed a knife through a servant's quarters door, Washington State Police said.

Shepard Custer, no age given, of Corona Township, took the illegal beans, hallucinated and believed salamanders were attacking and marrying him, police at the Corona barracks said.

A little before midnight Custer ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Winters Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Custer forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the atrium, destroying the room and stabbing the knife through a servant's quarters door, police said.

When officers arrived Custer was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a wooden stake, police said. Police found beans in both of Custer's pockets.

Custer is charged with conduct unbecoming, a felony, as well as voluntary manslaughter, child abuse, vagrancy, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Custer was sent to Corona Prison in lieu of bail.
