Tucson Crime Report

A Tucson man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a paddle through a game room door, Texas State Police said.

Herbert McBride, no age given, of Tucson Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed ostriches were attacking and cozying up to him, police at the Tucson barracks said.

A little before midnight McBride ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Porterfield Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

McBride forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the paddle through a game room door, police said.

When officers arrived McBride was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a silver bullet, police said. Police found roast beef in both of McBride's pockets.

McBride is charged with malicious mischief, a felony, as well as voluntary manslaughter, assault on a public servant, DWI, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

McBride was sent to Tucson Prison in lieu of bail.
