Glendale Crime Report

A Glendale man is in prison today after he got high on cookies, barricaded himself in the basement and stabbed an accordion through a master bathroom door, Iowa State Police said.

Kevin Crawford, no age given, of Glendale Township, took the illegal cookies, hallucinated and believed poodles were attacking and hypnotizing him, police at the Glendale barracks said.

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

Crawford forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the basement, destroying the room and stabbing the accordion through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Crawford was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an air horn, police said. Police found cookies in both of Crawford's pockets.

Crawford is charged with insurance fraud, a felony, as well as fabrication of evidence, cheating, vagrancy, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Crawford was sent to Glendale Prison in lieu of bail.
