Cairo Crime Report

A Cairo man is in prison today after he got high on jambalaya, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a torpedo through a den door, Ohio State Police said.

Harry Vincent, no age given, of Cairo Township, took the illegal jambalaya, hallucinated and believed squirrels were attacking and soothing him, police at the Cairo barracks said.

A little before midnight Vincent ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Hill Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Vincent forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the torpedo through a den door, police said.

When officers arrived Vincent was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a squirt gun, police said. Police found jambalaya in both of Vincent's pockets.

Vincent is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as manslaughter, drug possession, DWI, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Vincent was sent to Cairo Prison in lieu of bail.
