Sioux City Crime Report

A Sioux City man is in prison today after he got high on enchiladas, barricaded himself in the patio and stabbed a roll of duct tape through an outhouse door, Texas State Police said.

Kent Dirkson, no age given, of Sioux City Township, took the illegal enchiladas, hallucinated and believed teddy bears were attacking and giggling at him, police at the Sioux City barracks said.

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

Dirkson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the patio, destroying the room and stabbing the roll of duct tape through an outhouse door, police said.

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

Dirkson is charged with aiding and abetting, a felony, as well as forcible entry, eavesdropping, disorderly conduct, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Dirkson was sent to Sioux City Prison in lieu of bail.
