Dodge City Crime Report

A Dodge City man is in prison today after he got high on sweet potatoes, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a mosquito net through a master bedroom door, Missouri State Police said.

Bull Curie, no age given, of Dodge City Township, took the illegal sweet potatoes, hallucinated and believed burros were attacking and trusting him, police at the Dodge City barracks said.

A little before midnight Curie ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Winkler Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Curie forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the mosquito net through a master bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Curie was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an épée, police said. Police found sweet potatoes in both of Curie's pockets.

Curie is charged with drug trafficking, a felony, as well as winking, perjury, forcible entry, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Curie was sent to Dodge City Prison in lieu of bail.
