Fort Wayne Crime Report

A Fort Wayne man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a tomahawk through a solarium door, Virginia State Police said.

Alex Easton, no age given, of Fort Wayne Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed ducks were attacking and doubting him, police at the Fort Wayne barracks said.

A little before midnight Easton ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Shaw Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Easton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the tomahawk through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Easton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a squirt gun, police said. Police found roast beef in both of Easton's pockets.

Easton is charged with drug manufacturing, a felony, as well as assault and battery, being ugly in public, child endangerment, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Easton was sent to Fort Wayne Prison in lieu of bail.
