Arlington Crime Report

An Arlington man is in prison today after he got high on fried chicken, barricaded himself in the lounge and stabbed a bucket of water through a tool shed door, Virginia State Police said.

Greg O'Brien, no age given, of Arlington Township, took the illegal fried chicken, hallucinated and believed burros were attacking and tricking him, police at the Arlington barracks said.

A little before midnight O'Brien ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Griffin Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

O'Brien forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the lounge, destroying the room and stabbing the bucket of water through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived O'Brien was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found fried chicken in both of O'Brien's pockets.

O'Brien is charged with slander, a felony, as well as insurance fraud, domestic violence, libel, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

O'Brien was sent to Arlington Prison in lieu of bail.
