Norfolk Crime Report

A Norfolk man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a revolver through a basement door, Iowa State Police said.

Blake Bower, no age given, of Norfolk Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed unicorns were attacking and indoctrinating him, police at the Norfolk barracks said.

A little before midnight Bower ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Moore Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bower forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the revolver through a basement door, police said.

When officers arrived Bower was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lifesaver, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Bower's pockets.

Bower is charged with disorderly conduct, a felony, as well as insurance fraud, spitting, tax evasion, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Bower was sent to Norfolk Prison in lieu of bail.
