Little Rock Crime Report

A Little Rock man is in prison today after he got high on egg salad sandwich, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a banjo through a porch door, North Carolina State Police said.

Thomas Griggs, no age given, of Little Rock Township, took the illegal egg salad sandwich, hallucinated and believed meerkats were attacking and avoiding him, police at the Little Rock barracks said.

A little before midnight Griggs ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Clinton Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Griggs forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the banjo through a porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Griggs was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a flask, police said. Police found egg salad sandwich in both of Griggs's pockets.

Griggs is charged with prescription fraud, a felony, as well as hate crimes, dereliction of duty, prescription fraud, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Griggs was sent to Little Rock Prison in lieu of bail.
