Victoria Crime Report

A Victoria man is in prison today after he got high on roast Cornish game hen, barricaded himself in the pantry and stabbed a poison dart through a bedroom door, California State Police said.

Rick Gentry, no age given, of Victoria Township, took the illegal roast Cornish game hen, hallucinated and believed Dalmatians were attacking and thumping him, police at the Victoria barracks said.

A little before midnight Gentry ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Pierce Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Gentry forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pantry, destroying the room and stabbing the poison dart through a bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Gentry was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lifesaver, police said. Police found roast Cornish game hen in both of Gentry's pockets.

Gentry is charged with tax evasion, a felony, as well as insurance fraud, perjury, abduction, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Gentry was sent to Victoria Prison in lieu of bail.
