Tallahassee Crime Report

A Tallahassee man is in prison today after he got high on potatoes and gravy, barricaded himself in the bedroom and stabbed a wrench through a patio door, Maine State Police said.

Abel Wright, no age given, of Tallahassee Township, took the illegal potatoes and gravy, hallucinated and believed fleas were attacking and opposing him, police at the Tallahassee barracks said.

A little before midnight Wright ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Petrov Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Wright forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the wrench through a patio door, police said.

When officers arrived Wright was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blow gun, police said. Police found potatoes and gravy in both of Wright's pockets.

Wright is charged with swearing, a felony, as well as second degree murder, fashion faux-pas, cheating, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Wright was sent to Tallahassee Prison in lieu of bail.
