Billings Crime Report

A Billings man is in prison today after he got high on beans, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed an axe through a dungeon door, Utah State Police said.

Waldo Bower, no age given, of Billings Township, took the illegal beans, hallucinated and believed dinosaurs were attacking and pushing him, police at the Billings barracks said.

A little before midnight Bower ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Wolf Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bower forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the axe through a dungeon door, police said.

When officers arrived Bower was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a mosquito net, police said. Police found beans in both of Bower's pockets.

Bower is charged with being a blithering idiot, a felony, as well as probation violation, cursing, contempt of court, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Bower was sent to Billings Prison in lieu of bail.
