Rio De Janeiro Crime Report

A Rio de Janeiro man is in prison today after he got high on strawberry shortcake, barricaded himself in the hall and stabbed a ukulele through an attic door, Alabama State Police said.

Reynaldo Knotts, no age given, of Rio de Janeiro Township, took the illegal strawberry shortcake, hallucinated and believed penguins were attacking and playing with him, police at the Rio de Janeiro barracks said.

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

Knotts forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the hall, destroying the room and stabbing the ukulele through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Knotts was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a brick, police said. Police found strawberry shortcake in both of Knotts's pockets.

Knotts is charged with desertion, a felony, as well as prostitution, harassment, disorderly conduct, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Knotts was sent to Rio de Janeiro Prison in lieu of bail.
