Athens Crime Report

An Athens man is in prison today after he got high on prime rib, barricaded himself in the billiard room and stabbed a wrench through a parlor door, Oklahoma State Police said.

Fuzz Badwell, no age given, of Athens Township, took the illegal prime rib, hallucinated and believed hyenas were attacking and castigating him, police at the Athens barracks said.

A little before midnight Badwell ran to a neighbor's house in the 1800 block of Shelby Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Badwell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the billiard room, destroying the room and stabbing the wrench through a parlor door, police said.

When officers arrived Badwell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a set of nunchucks, police said. Police found prime rib in both of Badwell's pockets.

Badwell is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as contempt of court, trespass, malicious mischief, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Badwell was sent to Athens Prison in lieu of bail.
