Bellevue Crime Report

A Bellevue man is in prison today after he got high on biscuits and gravy, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed an accordion through a cage door, New Mexico State Police said.

Newton Burt, no age given, of Bellevue Township, took the illegal biscuits and gravy, hallucinated and believed crows were attacking and studying him, police at the Bellevue barracks said.

A little before midnight Burt ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Young Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Burt forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the accordion through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Burt was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a wet noodle, police said. Police found biscuits and gravy in both of Burt's pockets.

Burt is charged with insurance fraud, a felony, as well as credit card fraud, child abandonment, assault with a deadly weapon, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Burt was sent to Bellevue Prison in lieu of bail.
