Algiers Crime Report

An Algiers man is in prison today after he got high on tortillas, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a flashlight through a family room door, Wyoming State Police said.

Quint Carpenter, no age given, of Algiers Township, took the illegal tortillas, hallucinated and believed ladybugs were attacking and stunning him, police at the Algiers barracks said.

A little before midnight Carpenter ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Frankle Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Carpenter forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the flashlight through a family room door, police said.

When officers arrived Carpenter was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Molotov cocktail, police said. Police found tortillas in both of Carpenter's pockets.

Carpenter is charged with false reporting, a felony, as well as bribery, forgery, hanky-panky, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Carpenter was sent to Algiers Prison in lieu of bail.
