Bozeman Crime Report

A Bozeman man is in prison today after he got high on dry toast, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a six-shooter through a closet door, Idaho State Police said.

Lauren Velasquez, no age given, of Bozeman Township, took the illegal dry toast, hallucinated and believed ducks were attacking and training him, police at the Bozeman barracks said.

A little before midnight Velasquez ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Goldfarb Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Velasquez forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the six-shooter through a closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Velasquez was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an insect repellant, police said. Police found dry toast in both of Velasquez's pockets.

Velasquez is charged with prostitution, a felony, as well as running a bingo game, swearing, insubordination, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Velasquez was sent to Bozeman Prison in lieu of bail.
