Brussels Crime Report

A Brussels man is in prison today after he got high on fried eggs, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a pop gun through a boiler room door, New York State Police said.

Lorenzo Ireland, no age given, of Brussels Township, took the illegal fried eggs, hallucinated and believed parakeets were attacking and relying on him, police at the Brussels barracks said.

A little before midnight Ireland ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Sharpe Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Ireland forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the pop gun through a boiler room door, police said.

When officers arrived Ireland was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pom-pom, police said. Police found fried eggs in both of Ireland's pockets.

Ireland is charged with probation violation, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, child abandonment, DUI, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Ireland was sent to Brussels Prison in lieu of bail.
