El Paso Crime Report

An El Paso man is in prison today after he got high on wienerschnitzel, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a dirt clod through a laundry room door, Kansas State Police said.

Nick Watson, no age given, of El Paso Township, took the illegal wienerschnitzel, hallucinated and believed deer were attacking and studying him, police at the El Paso barracks said.

A little before midnight Watson ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Slater Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Watson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a laundry room door, police said.

When officers arrived Watson was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a silver bullet, police said. Police found wienerschnitzel in both of Watson's pockets.

Watson is charged with dereliction of duty, a felony, as well as being ugly in public, abuse of authority, evading arrest, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Watson was sent to El Paso Prison in lieu of bail.
