Lake Placid Crime Report

A Lake Placid man is in prison today after he got high on strawberry shortcake, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a sickle through a solarium door, Nebraska State Police said.

Malcolm Rexford, no age given, of Lake Placid Township, took the illegal strawberry shortcake, hallucinated and believed yetis were attacking and studying him, police at the Lake Placid barracks said.

A little before midnight Rexford ran to a neighbor's house in the 1900 block of Bowe Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Rexford forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the sickle through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Rexford was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a crossbow, police said. Police found strawberry shortcake in both of Rexford's pockets.

Rexford is charged with pyramid schemes, a felony, as well as voluntary manslaughter, piracy, solicitation, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Rexford was sent to Lake Placid Prison in lieu of bail.
