Algiers Crime Report

An Algiers man is in prison today after he got high on chocolate-covered ants, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a servant's quarters door, Iowa State Police said.

Warren Dorn, no age given, of Algiers Township, took the illegal chocolate-covered ants, hallucinated and believed sloths were attacking and biting him, police at the Algiers barracks said.

A little before midnight Dorn ran to a neighbor's house in the 1800 block of Wallace Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Dorn forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a servant's quarters door, police said.

When officers arrived Dorn was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blackjack, police said. Police found chocolate-covered ants in both of Dorn's pockets.

Dorn is charged with kidnapping, a felony, as well as spitting, prostitution, mayhem, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Dorn was sent to Algiers Prison in lieu of bail.
