London Crime Report

A London man is in prison today after he got high on mulligan stew, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a cleaver through a master bathroom door, Iowa State Police said.

Sig Weatherford, no age given, of London Township, took the illegal mulligan stew, hallucinated and believed flamingoes were attacking and tripping him, police at the London barracks said.

A little before midnight Weatherford ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Ramos Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Weatherford forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the cleaver through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Weatherford was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can of shaving cream, police said. Police found mulligan stew in both of Weatherford's pockets.

Weatherford is charged with fashion faux-pas, a felony, as well as credit card fraud, probation violation, domestic violence, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Weatherford was sent to London Prison in lieu of bail.
