Abilene Crime Report

An Abilene man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a six-pack through a pool room door, North Carolina State Police said.

Frank Booth, no age given, of Abilene Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed cows were attacking and surprising him, police at the Abilene barracks said.

A little before midnight Booth ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of McIntire Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Booth forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the six-pack through a pool room door, police said.

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

Booth is charged with domestic violence, a felony, as well as burglary, minor in possession, putting the thumb to the nose, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Booth was sent to Abilene Prison in lieu of bail.
