Madison Crime Report

A Madison man is in prison today after he got high on refried beans, barricaded himself in the ballroom and stabbed a broadsword through a conservatory door, Alabama State Police said.

Will Scoville, no age given, of Madison Township, took the illegal refried beans, hallucinated and believed koalas were attacking and mocking him, police at the Madison barracks said.

A little before midnight Scoville ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Rudnick Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Scoville forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the ballroom, destroying the room and stabbing the broadsword through a conservatory door, police said.

When officers arrived Scoville was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a camera, police said. Police found refried beans in both of Scoville's pockets.

Scoville is charged with extortion, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, swearing, telemarketing fraud, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Scoville was sent to Madison Prison in lieu of bail.
