Savannah Crime Report

A Savannah man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the hall and stabbed a shotgun through a salon door, Indiana State Police said.

Ricky David, no age given, of Savannah Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed oysters were attacking and excluding him, police at the Savannah barracks said.

A little before midnight David ran to a neighbor's house in the 1200 block of Clinton Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

David forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the hall, destroying the room and stabbing the shotgun through a salon door, police said.

When officers arrived David was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a supply of courage, police said. Police found roast turkey in both of David's pockets.

David is charged with theft, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, insubordination, putting the thumb to the nose, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

David was sent to Savannah Prison in lieu of bail.
