Overland Park Crime Report

An Overland Park man is in prison today after he got high on enchiladas, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a switchblade through a master bathroom door, Arizona State Police said.

Melvin Pike, no age given, of Overland Park Township, took the illegal enchiladas, hallucinated and believed mice were attacking and kissing him, police at the Overland Park barracks said.

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

Pike forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the switchblade through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Pike was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an air horn, police said. Police found enchiladas in both of Pike's pockets.

Pike is charged with carjacking, a felony, as well as terroristic threats, manslaughter, eavesdropping, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Pike was sent to Overland Park Prison in lieu of bail.
