Addis Ababa Crime Report

An Addis Ababa man is in prison today after he got high on strawberry shortcake, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a lance through an attic door, Kentucky State Police said.

Trent Franklin, no age given, of Addis Ababa Township, took the illegal strawberry shortcake, hallucinated and believed monkeys were attacking and teasing him, police at the Addis Ababa barracks said.

A little before midnight Franklin ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Grady Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Franklin forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the lance through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Franklin was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an Uzi, police said. Police found strawberry shortcake in both of Franklin's pockets.

Franklin is charged with sedition, a felony, as well as dereliction of duty, hanky-panky, child abandonment, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Franklin was sent to Addis Ababa Prison in lieu of bail.
