Warren Crime Report

A Warren man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed a water balloon through a living room door, West Virginia State Police said.

Cornelius Garston, no age given, of Warren Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed sloths were attacking and befuddling him, police at the Warren barracks said.

A little before midnight Garston ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Krause Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Garston forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the water balloon through a living room door, police said.

When officers arrived Garston was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bottle of Tabasco Sauce, police said. Police found roast turkey in both of Garston's pockets.

Garston is charged with escape from lawful custody, a felony, as well as domestic violence, abuse of authority, abduction, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Garston was sent to Warren Prison in lieu of bail.
