Tucson Crime Report

A Tucson man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a syringe through a doghouse door, Hawaii State Police said.

Roscoe Coons, no age given, of Tucson Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed goblins were attacking and dreaming about him, police at the Tucson barracks said.

A little before midnight Coons ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Pham Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Coons forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the syringe through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Coons was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a musket, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Coons's pockets.

Coons is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as vandalism, manslaughter, assault and battery, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Coons was sent to Tucson Prison in lieu of bail.
