Savannah Crime Report

A Savannah man is in prison today after he got high on potatoes and gravy, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a set of nunchucks through a laundry room door, Georgia State Police said.

Wes Young, no age given, of Savannah Township, took the illegal potatoes and gravy, hallucinated and believed roosters were attacking and quieting him, police at the Savannah barracks said.

A little before midnight Young ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Ping Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Young forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the set of nunchucks through a laundry room door, police said.

When officers arrived Young was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a poison dart, police said. Police found potatoes and gravy in both of Young's pockets.

Young is charged with aiding and abetting, a felony, as well as larceny, vandalism, theft, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Young was sent to Savannah Prison in lieu of bail.
