Fayetteville Crime Report

A Fayetteville man is in prison today after he got high on macaroni and cheese, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a snowball through a closet door, Arizona State Police said.

Studs Cotton, no age given, of Fayetteville Township, took the illegal macaroni and cheese, hallucinated and believed elephants were attacking and spilling an Irish Coffee on him, police at the Fayetteville barracks said.

A little before midnight Cotton ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Bentzinger Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cotton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the snowball through a closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Cotton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Millwall brick, police said. Police found macaroni and cheese in both of Cotton's pockets.

Cotton is charged with first degree murder, a felony, as well as manslaughter, treason, fraud, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Cotton was sent to Fayetteville Prison in lieu of bail.
