Santiago Crime Report

A Santiago man is in prison today after he got high on enchiladas, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a harpoon through a study door, Florida State Police said.

Mao McDermott, no age given, of Santiago Township, took the illegal enchiladas, hallucinated and believed lizards were attacking and smiling at him, police at the Santiago barracks said.

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

McDermott forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the harpoon through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived McDermott was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a piercing stare, police said. Police found enchiladas in both of McDermott's pockets.

McDermott is charged with DUI, a felony, as well as blasphemy, evading arrest, computer crime, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

McDermott was sent to Santiago Prison in lieu of bail.
