Victoria Crime Report

A Victoria man is in prison today after he got high on chicken gumbo, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a smoke bomb through a living room door, Illinois State Police said.

Dax DeGraff, no age given, of Victoria Township, took the illegal chicken gumbo, hallucinated and believed bullfrogs were attacking and deceiving him, police at the Victoria barracks said.

A little before midnight DeGraff ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Campbell Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

DeGraff forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the smoke bomb through a living room door, police said.

When officers arrived DeGraff was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a sickle, police said. Police found chicken gumbo in both of DeGraff's pockets.

DeGraff is charged with flirting, a felony, as well as manslaughter, white collar crime, vagrancy, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

DeGraff was sent to Victoria Prison in lieu of bail.
