Atlanta Crime Report

An Atlanta man is in prison today after he got high on bread and butter, barricaded himself in the pantry and stabbed a hatchet through a patio door, Virgin Islands State Police said.

Cosmo Looper, no age given, of Atlanta Township, took the illegal bread and butter, hallucinated and believed coyotes were attacking and hugging him, police at the Atlanta barracks said.

A little before midnight Looper ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Fink Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Looper forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pantry, destroying the room and stabbing the hatchet through a patio door, police said.

When officers arrived Looper was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a piercing stare, police said. Police found bread and butter in both of Looper's pockets.

Looper is charged with second degree murder, a felony, as well as assault with a deadly weapon, forgery, sedition, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Looper was sent to Atlanta Prison in lieu of bail.
