Milwaukee Crime Report

A Milwaukee man is in prison today after he got high on brownies, barricaded himself in the den and stabbed an air horn through a billiard room door, Wisconsin State Police said.

Bum Thomas, no age given, of Milwaukee Township, took the illegal brownies, hallucinated and believed parakeets were attacking and scaring him, police at the Milwaukee barracks said.

A little before midnight Thomas ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Pryor Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Thomas forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the den, destroying the room and stabbing the air horn through a billiard room door, police said.

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

Thomas is charged with involuntary manslaughter, a felony, as well as domestic violence, vandalism, counterfeiting, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Thomas was sent to Milwaukee Prison in lieu of bail.
