Syracuse Crime Report

A Syracuse man is in prison today after he got high on egg rolls, barricaded himself in the hall and stabbed a Geiger counter through an atrium door, Tennessee State Police said.

José Newman, no age given, of Syracuse Township, took the illegal egg rolls, hallucinated and believed beagles were attacking and dating him, police at the Syracuse barracks said.

A little before midnight Newman ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Morgan Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Newman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the hall, destroying the room and stabbing the Geiger counter through an atrium door, police said.

When officers arrived Newman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an air rifle, police said. Police found egg rolls in both of Newman's pockets.

Newman is charged with DWI, a felony, as well as cyber bullying, computer crime, conduct unbecoming, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Newman was sent to Syracuse Prison in lieu of bail.
