Tokyo Crime Report

A Tokyo man is in prison today after he got high on chicken chow mein, barricaded himself in the doghouse and stabbed a pistol through a laundry room door, Alabama State Police said.

Cornelius Chu, no age given, of Tokyo Township, took the illegal chicken chow mein, hallucinated and believed buzzards were attacking and doubting him, police at the Tokyo barracks said.

A little before midnight Chu ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Marsh Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Chu forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the doghouse, destroying the room and stabbing the pistol through a laundry room door, police said.

When officers arrived Chu was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dagger, police said. Police found chicken chow mein in both of Chu's pockets.

Chu is charged with second degree murder, a felony, as well as child abuse, eavesdropping, embezzlement, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Chu was sent to Tokyo Prison in lieu of bail.
