Hanoi Crime Report

A Hanoi man is in prison today after he got high on potatoes and gravy, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a stick of dynamite through a dungeon door, Alabama State Police said.

Kelly Moore, no age given, of Hanoi Township, took the illegal potatoes and gravy, hallucinated and believed zebras were attacking and tickling him, police at the Hanoi barracks said.

A little before midnight Moore ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Silva Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Moore forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the stick of dynamite through a dungeon door, police said.

When officers arrived Moore was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a tomahawk, police said. Police found potatoes and gravy in both of Moore's pockets.

Moore is charged with resisting arrest, a felony, as well as DWAI, domestic violence, flirting, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Moore was sent to Hanoi Prison in lieu of bail.
