Lexington Crime Report

A Lexington man is in prison today after he got high on borscht, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a bullwhip through an outhouse door, North Dakota State Police said.

Jesus Talley, no age given, of Lexington Township, took the illegal borscht, hallucinated and believed Dalmatians were attacking and defeating him, police at the Lexington barracks said.

A little before midnight Talley ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Locke Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Talley forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the bullwhip through an outhouse door, police said.

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

Talley is charged with conduct unbecoming, a felony, as well as shoplifting, eavesdropping, extortion, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Talley was sent to Lexington Prison in lieu of bail.
