Dodge City Crime Report

A Dodge City man is in prison today after he got high on jambalaya, barricaded himself in the corridor and stabbed a rope through a ballroom door, Wyoming State Police said.

Clyde Klein, no age given, of Dodge City Township, took the illegal jambalaya, hallucinated and believed cocker spaniels were attacking and smiling at him, police at the Dodge City barracks said.

A little before midnight Klein ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Brock Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Klein forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the corridor, destroying the room and stabbing the rope through a ballroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Klein was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a tennis racket, police said. Police found jambalaya in both of Klein's pockets.

Klein is charged with theft, a felony, as well as arson, computer crime, child endangerment, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Klein was sent to Dodge City Prison in lieu of bail.
