Macon Crime Report

A Macon man is in prison today after he got high on mashed potatoes, barricaded himself in the ballroom and stabbed a blank stare through a dungeon door, Nebraska State Police said.

Michael Arthur, no age given, of Macon Township, took the illegal mashed potatoes, hallucinated and believed dragons were attacking and charming him, police at the Macon barracks said.

A little before midnight Arthur ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Bobble Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Arthur forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the ballroom, destroying the room and stabbing the blank stare through a dungeon door, police said.

When officers arrived Arthur was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a grenade launcher, police said. Police found mashed potatoes in both of Arthur's pockets.

Arthur is charged with running a bingo game, a felony, as well as wire fraud, indecent exposure, arson, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Arthur was sent to Macon Prison in lieu of bail.
