New Delhi Crime Report

A New Delhi man is in prison today after he got high on doughnuts, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed a syringe through a laundry room door, Oklahoma State Police said.

Gus Simpson, no age given, of New Delhi Township, took the illegal doughnuts, hallucinated and believed hippopotami were attacking and thinking about him, police at the New Delhi barracks said.

A little before midnight Simpson ran to a neighbor's house in the 1900 block of Phillips Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Simpson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the syringe through a laundry room door, police said.

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

Simpson is charged with mayhem, a felony, as well as spitting, running a bingo game, second degree murder, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Simpson was sent to New Delhi Prison in lieu of bail.
