Norfolk Crime Report

A Norfolk man is in prison today after he got high on mashed potatoes, barricaded himself in the living room and stabbed a dirt clod through a corridor door, Montana State Police said.

Brent Cantrell, no age given, of Norfolk Township, took the illegal mashed potatoes, hallucinated and believed unicorns were attacking and caring for him, police at the Norfolk barracks said.

A little before midnight Cantrell ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Jordan Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cantrell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the living room, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a corridor door, police said.

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

Cantrell is charged with assault on a public servant, a felony, as well as abduction, tax evasion, false reporting, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Cantrell was sent to Norfolk Prison in lieu of bail.
