Pasadena Crime Report

A Pasadena man is in prison today after he got high on chicken soup, barricaded himself in the ballroom and stabbed a bucket of water through a library door, Kansas State Police said.

Wilbur Brainard, no age given, of Pasadena Township, took the illegal chicken soup, hallucinated and believed ferrets were attacking and winking at him, police at the Pasadena barracks said.

A little before midnight Brainard ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Kim Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Brainard forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the ballroom, destroying the room and stabbing the bucket of water through a library door, police said.

When officers arrived Brainard was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dirt clod, police said. Police found chicken soup in both of Brainard's pockets.

Brainard is charged with vandalism, a felony, as well as dereliction of duty, evading arrest, stalking, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Brainard was sent to Pasadena Prison in lieu of bail.
