Warren Crime Report

A Warren man is in prison today after he got high on roast Cornish game hen, barricaded himself in the pantry and stabbed a crossbow through a tool shed door, Vermont State Police said.

Horsie Finlayson, no age given, of Warren Township, took the illegal roast Cornish game hen, hallucinated and believed gila monsters were attacking and frightening him, police at the Warren barracks said.

A little before midnight Finlayson ran to a neighbor's house in the 2200 block of Cruz Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Finlayson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pantry, destroying the room and stabbing the crossbow through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Finlayson was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pair of scissors, police said. Police found roast Cornish game hen in both of Finlayson's pockets.

Finlayson is charged with unlawful assembly, a felony, as well as child abandonment, prescription fraud, open container violation, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Finlayson was sent to Warren Prison in lieu of bail.
