Cleveland Crime Report

A Cleveland man is in prison today after he got high on shrimp, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a Molotov cocktail through a workshop door, Iowa State Police said.

Broderick Bryant, no age given, of Cleveland Township, took the illegal shrimp, hallucinated and believed kittens were attacking and disparaging him, police at the Cleveland barracks said.

A little before midnight Bryant ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Ward Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bryant forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the Molotov cocktail through a workshop door, police said.

When officers arrived Bryant was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blank stare, police said. Police found shrimp in both of Bryant's pockets.

Bryant is charged with forcible entry, a felony, as well as minor in possession, indecent exposure, insubordination, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Bryant was sent to Cleveland Prison in lieu of bail.
