Shanghai Crime Report

A Shanghai man is in prison today after he got high on cinnamon toast, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a harpoon through a guest room door, South Dakota State Police said.

Running Bear Watkins, no age given, of Shanghai Township, took the illegal cinnamon toast, hallucinated and believed porcupines were attacking and pulverizing him, police at the Shanghai barracks said.

A little before midnight Watkins ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Barcelo Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Watkins forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the harpoon through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Watkins was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bullwhip, police said. Police found cinnamon toast in both of Watkins's pockets.

Watkins is charged with drug manufacturing, a felony, as well as evidence tampering, extortion, insubordination, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Watkins was sent to Shanghai Prison in lieu of bail.
