San Angelo Crime Report

A San Angelo man is in prison today after he got high on corn on the cob, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a golf club through a master bathroom door, Ohio State Police said.

Phineas Ratha, no age given, of San Angelo Township, took the illegal corn on the cob, hallucinated and believed mice were attacking and staring at him, police at the San Angelo barracks said.

A little before midnight Ratha ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Prescott Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Ratha forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the golf club through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Ratha was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can opener, police said. Police found corn on the cob in both of Ratha's pockets.

Ratha is charged with mayhem, a felony, as well as vandalism, burglary, securities fraud, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Ratha was sent to San Angelo Prison in lieu of bail.
