London Crime Report

A London man is in prison today after he got high on chicken pot pie, barricaded himself in the den and stabbed a street sweeper through a master bathroom door, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Tom Bower, no age given, of London Township, took the illegal chicken pot pie, hallucinated and believed foxes were attacking and stinging him, police at the London barracks said.

A little before midnight Bower ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Alden Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bower forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the den, destroying the room and stabbing the street sweeper through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Bower was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a ghetto blaster, police said. Police found chicken pot pie in both of Bower's pockets.

Bower is charged with lewd conduct, a felony, as well as drug trafficking, prescription fraud, extortion, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Bower was sent to London Prison in lieu of bail.
