Yonkers Crime Report

A Yonkers man is in prison today after he got high on brownies, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a scalpel through an outhouse door, Michigan State Police said.

Carl Knotts, no age given, of Yonkers Township, took the illegal brownies, hallucinated and believed butterflies were attacking and caressing him, police at the Yonkers barracks said.

A little before midnight Knotts ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Sugarbaker Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Knotts forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the scalpel through an outhouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Knotts was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a BB gun, police said. Police found brownies in both of Knotts's pockets.

Knotts is charged with larceny, a felony, as well as false reporting, counterfeiting, mayhem, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Knotts was sent to Yonkers Prison in lieu of bail.
