Worcester Crime Report

A Worcester man is in prison today after he got high on steak, barricaded himself in the den and stabbed a tennis racket through a master bathroom door, New York State Police said.

Billy Bob Norton, no age given, of Worcester Township, took the illegal steak, hallucinated and believed orangutans were attacking and pecking at him, police at the Worcester barracks said.

A little before midnight Norton ran to a neighbor's house in the 1200 block of Provenzano Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Norton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the den, destroying the room and stabbing the tennis racket through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Norton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bayonette, police said. Police found steak in both of Norton's pockets.

Norton is charged with slander, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, assault on a public servant, extortion, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Norton was sent to Worcester Prison in lieu of bail.
