Oceanside Crime Report

An Oceanside man is in prison today after he got high on potatoes and gravy, barricaded himself in the outhouse and stabbed a dirk through a library door, Delaware State Police said.

Randall Diamond, no age given, of Oceanside Township, took the illegal potatoes and gravy, hallucinated and believed asses were attacking and deceiving him, police at the Oceanside barracks said.

A little before midnight Diamond ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Hopkins Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Diamond forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the outhouse, destroying the room and stabbing the dirk through a library door, police said.

When officers arrived Diamond was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dirt clod, police said. Police found potatoes and gravy in both of Diamond's pockets.

Diamond is charged with being a blithering idiot, a felony, as well as conspiracy, eavesdropping, fashion faux-pas, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Diamond was sent to Oceanside Prison in lieu of bail.
