Baghdad Crime Report

A Baghdad man is in prison today after he got high on fried okra, barricaded himself in the patio and stabbed a crossbow through a boiler room door, Utah State Police said.

Archie Sims, no age given, of Baghdad Township, took the illegal fried okra, hallucinated and believed dodo birds were attacking and replacing him, police at the Baghdad barracks said.

A little before midnight Sims ran to a neighbor's house in the 300 block of Looper Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Sims forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the patio, destroying the room and stabbing the crossbow through a boiler room door, police said.

When officers arrived Sims was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a boomerang, police said. Police found fried okra in both of Sims's pockets.

Sims is charged with unlawful assembly, a felony, as well as drug possession, child abuse, minor in possession, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Sims was sent to Baghdad Prison in lieu of bail.
