Cairo Crime Report

A Cairo man is in prison today after he got high on chocolate-covered ants, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a machete through a den door, Alaska State Police said.

Bronk Roman, no age given, of Cairo Township, took the illegal chocolate-covered ants, hallucinated and believed dragons were attacking and trying to control him, police at the Cairo barracks said.

A little before midnight Roman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Weston Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Roman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the machete through a den door, police said.

When officers arrived Roman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a soldering iron, police said. Police found chocolate-covered ants in both of Roman's pockets.

Roman is charged with false reporting, a felony, as well as involuntary manslaughter, lewd conduct, larceny, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Roman was sent to Cairo Prison in lieu of bail.
