Akron Crime Report

An Akron man is in prison today after he got high on ramen noodles, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a pop gun through a guest room door, South Dakota State Police said.

Cosmo Weeden, no age given, of Akron Township, took the illegal ramen noodles, hallucinated and believed banana slugs were attacking and quarreling with him, police at the Akron barracks said.

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

Weeden forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the pop gun through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Weeden was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bottle of Tabasco Sauce, police said. Police found ramen noodles in both of Weeden's pockets.

Weeden is charged with child endangerment, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, child abandonment, white collar crime, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Weeden was sent to Akron Prison in lieu of bail.
