Topeka Crime Report

A Topeka man is in prison today after he got high on smoked salmon, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed an atomic weapon through a boudoir door, Iowa State Police said.

Eric McGregor, no age given, of Topeka Township, took the illegal smoked salmon, hallucinated and believed jaguars were attacking and ignoring him, police at the Topeka barracks said.

A little before midnight McGregor ran to a neighbor's house in the 2200 block of Kong Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

McGregor forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the atomic weapon through a boudoir door, police said.

When officers arrived McGregor was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a witty reparteé, police said. Police found smoked salmon in both of McGregor's pockets.

McGregor is charged with pandering, a felony, as well as slander, child endangerment, piracy, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

McGregor was sent to Topeka Prison in lieu of bail.
