Brownsville Crime Report

A Brownsville man is in prison today after he got high on falafel, barricaded himself in the living room and stabbed a blow gun through a nursery door, Vermont State Police said.

Rob Quill, no age given, of Brownsville Township, took the illegal falafel, hallucinated and believed meerkats were attacking and betraying him, police at the Brownsville barracks said.

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

Quill forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the living room, destroying the room and stabbing the blow gun through a nursery door, police said.

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

Quill is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as carjacking, unlawful assembly, false reporting, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Quill was sent to Brownsville Prison in lieu of bail.
