Sydney Crime Report

A Sydney man is in prison today after he got high on borscht, barricaded himself in the billiard room and stabbed a revolver through a servant's quarters door, Oklahoma State Police said.

Buster Morales, no age given, of Sydney Township, took the illegal borscht, hallucinated and believed hamsters were attacking and making a face at him, police at the Sydney barracks said.

A little before midnight Morales ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Vandewater Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Morales forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the billiard room, destroying the room and stabbing the revolver through a servant's quarters door, police said.

When officers arrived Morales was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a hatchet, police said. Police found borscht in both of Morales's pockets.

Morales is charged with fashion faux-pas, a felony, as well as manslaughter, minor in possession, libel, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Morales was sent to Sydney Prison in lieu of bail.
