Halifax Crime Report

A Halifax man is in prison today after he got high on mushroom quiche, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a potato masher through a closet door, North Dakota State Police said.

Russ Krivosha, no age given, of Halifax Township, took the illegal mushroom quiche, hallucinated and believed ravens were attacking and caressing him, police at the Halifax barracks said.

A little before midnight Krivosha ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Mouse Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Krivosha forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the potato masher through a closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Krivosha was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a hammer, police said. Police found mushroom quiche in both of Krivosha's pockets.

Krivosha is charged with escape from lawful custody, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, sedition, cheating, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Krivosha was sent to Halifax Prison in lieu of bail.
