Plano Crime Report

A Plano man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a piercing stare through an auditorium door, Connecticut State Police said.

Barry Barnes, no age given, of Plano Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed duck-billed platypi were attacking and bumping him, police at the Plano barracks said.

A little before midnight Barnes ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Wolfe Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Barnes forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the piercing stare through an auditorium door, police said.

When officers arrived Barnes was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pop gun, police said. Police found roast beef in both of Barnes's pockets.

Barnes is charged with racketeering, a felony, as well as telemarketing fraud, first degree murder, DWAI, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Barnes was sent to Plano Prison in lieu of bail.
