Phoenix Crime Report

A Phoenix man is in prison today after he got high on hot dogs, barricaded himself in the patio and stabbed a syringe through a lounge door, Virginia State Police said.

Danny Bede, no age given, of Phoenix Township, took the illegal hot dogs, hallucinated and believed rabbits were attacking and poking him, police at the Phoenix barracks said.

A little before midnight Bede ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Giddings Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bede forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the patio, destroying the room and stabbing the syringe through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Bede was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bottle of Tabasco Sauce, police said. Police found hot dogs in both of Bede's pockets.

Bede is charged with swearing, a felony, as well as running a bingo game, larceny, malicious mischief, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Bede was sent to Phoenix Prison in lieu of bail.
