Shanghai Crime Report

A Shanghai man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed an air horn through a cage door, Delaware State Police said.

Gabriel Zedong, no age given, of Shanghai Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed duck-billed platypi were attacking and playing with him, police at the Shanghai barracks said.

A little before midnight Zedong ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Trane Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Zedong forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the air horn through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Zedong was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a sickle, police said. Police found roast beef in both of Zedong's pockets.

Zedong is charged with stalking, a felony, as well as escape from lawful custody, perjury, abduction, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Zedong was sent to Shanghai Prison in lieu of bail.
