Irving Crime Report

An Irving man is in prison today after he got high on corn on the cob, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a shoe through a pool room door, Rhode Island State Police said.

Kenny Alexander, no age given, of Irving Township, took the illegal corn on the cob, hallucinated and believed duck-billed platypi were attacking and splitting up with him, police at the Irving barracks said.

A little before midnight Alexander ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Harris Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Alexander forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the shoe through a pool room door, police said.

When officers arrived Alexander was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an air rifle, police said. Police found corn on the cob in both of Alexander's pockets.

Alexander is charged with assault and battery, a felony, as well as second degree murder, DWAI, blasphemy, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Alexander was sent to Irving Prison in lieu of bail.
