A Carlsbad man is in prison today after he got high on chicken chow mein, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed a witty reparteé through a dungeon door, California State Police said.

Parson Dillman, no age given, of Carlsbad Township, took the illegal chicken chow mein, hallucinated and believed pheasants were attacking and educating him, police at the Carlsbad barracks said.
A little before midnight Dillman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Backus Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.
Dillman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the witty reparteé through a dungeon door, police said.
When officers arrived Dillman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pair of bare hands, police said. Police found chicken chow mein in both of Dillman's pockets.
Dillman is charged with white collar crime, a felony, as well as assault and battery, espionage, bribery, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.
Dillman was sent to Carlsbad Prison in lieu of bail.
