Chandler Crime Report

A Chandler man is in prison today after he got high on oyster on the half-shell, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a dirt clod through a study door, Connecticut State Police said.

Muerto Kim, no age given, of Chandler Township, took the illegal oyster on the half-shell, hallucinated and believed weasels were attacking and tripping him, police at the Chandler barracks said.

A little before midnight Kim ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Hayes Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Kim forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived Kim was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Colt 45, police said. Police found oyster on the half-shell in both of Kim's pockets.

Kim is charged with harassment, a felony, as well as harboring a fugitive, slander, conspiracy, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Kim was sent to Chandler Prison in lieu of bail.
