Dodge City Crime Report

A Dodge City man is in prison today after he got high on ham, barricaded himself in the living room and stabbed a defibrillator through an auditorium door, Texas State Police said.

Roscoe Phillips, no age given, of Dodge City Township, took the illegal ham, hallucinated and believed elephants were attacking and ridiculing him, police at the Dodge City barracks said.

A little before midnight Phillips ran to a neighbor's house in the 300 block of Bean Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Phillips forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the living room, destroying the room and stabbing the defibrillator through an auditorium door, police said.

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

Phillips is charged with vagrancy, a felony, as well as domestic violence, harassment, identity theft, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Phillips was sent to Dodge City Prison in lieu of bail.
