Hayward Crime Report

A Hayward man is in prison today after he got high on blueberry pie, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a scalpel through a servant's quarters door, Wisconsin State Police said.

Lawrence Brandon, no age given, of Hayward Township, took the illegal blueberry pie, hallucinated and believed hyenas were attacking and opposing him, police at the Hayward barracks said.

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

Brandon forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the scalpel through a servant's quarters door, police said.

When officers arrived Brandon was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a piercing stare, police said. Police found blueberry pie in both of Brandon's pockets.

Brandon is charged with espionage, a felony, as well as harassment, treason, being ugly in public, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Brandon was sent to Hayward Prison in lieu of bail.
