Grand Junction Crime Report

A Grand Junction man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed a pair of bare hands through a patio door, Missouri State Police said.

Tyler Shapiro, no age given, of Grand Junction Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed warthogs were attacking and making a face at him, police at the Grand Junction barracks said.

A little before midnight Shapiro ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Marchetti Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Shapiro forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the pair of bare hands through a patio door, police said.

When officers arrived Shapiro was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a weed whacker, police said. Police found country glazed ham in both of Shapiro's pockets.

Shapiro is charged with murder, a felony, as well as harassment, evidence tampering, resisting arrest, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Shapiro was sent to Grand Junction Prison in lieu of bail.
