Hayward Crime Report

A Hayward man is in prison today after he got high on steak, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a witty reparteé through a doghouse door, Nebraska State Police said.

Noel Holiday, no age given, of Hayward Township, took the illegal steak, hallucinated and believed dachshunds were attacking and ostracizing him, police at the Hayward barracks said.

A little before midnight Holiday ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Friedman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Holiday forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the witty reparteé through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Holiday was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a supply of courage, police said. Police found steak in both of Holiday's pockets.

Holiday is charged with assault and battery, a felony, as well as terroristic threats, assault and battery, slander, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Holiday was sent to Hayward Prison in lieu of bail.
