Pueblo Crime Report

A Pueblo man is in prison today after he got high on fried okra, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a bad breath through a foyer door, Alaska State Police said.

Doc Lyman, no age given, of Pueblo Township, took the illegal fried okra, hallucinated and believed bats were attacking and grilling him, police at the Pueblo barracks said.

A little before midnight Lyman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Stoltenburg Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Lyman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the bad breath through a foyer door, police said.

When officers arrived Lyman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a branding iron, police said. Police found fried okra in both of Lyman's pockets.

Lyman is charged with white collar crime, a felony, as well as vandalism, drug manufacturing, contempt of court, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Lyman was sent to Pueblo Prison in lieu of bail.
