Peking Crime Report

A Peking man is in prison today after he got high on pot roast, barricaded himself in the outhouse and stabbed a disinfectant through a corridor door, Vermont State Police said.

Rumpelstiltskin James, no age given, of Peking Township, took the illegal pot roast, hallucinated and believed warthogs were attacking and stumping him, police at the Peking barracks said.

A little before midnight James ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Alden Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

James forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the outhouse, destroying the room and stabbing the disinfectant through a corridor door, police said.

When officers arrived James was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a sling, police said. Police found pot roast in both of James's pockets.

James is charged with public intoxication, a felony, as well as vagrancy, fashion faux-pas, flirting, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

James was sent to Peking Prison in lieu of bail.
