Tucson Crime Report

A Tucson man is in prison today after he got high on biscuits and gravy, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a quick retort through a boiler room door, Maine State Police said.

Francisco Nilsson, no age given, of Tucson Township, took the illegal biscuits and gravy, hallucinated and believed garter snakes were attacking and berating him, police at the Tucson barracks said.

A little before midnight Nilsson ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Swoopes Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Nilsson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the quick retort through a boiler room door, police said.

When officers arrived Nilsson was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a parlor trick, police said. Police found biscuits and gravy in both of Nilsson's pockets.

Nilsson is charged with abduction, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, racketeering, hanky-panky, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Nilsson was sent to Tucson Prison in lieu of bail.
