Edinburgh Crime Report

An Edinburgh man is in prison today after he got high on pot roast, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a blow pipe through a salon door, North Carolina State Police said.

Arnie Targoff, no age given, of Edinburgh Township, took the illegal pot roast, hallucinated and believed donkeys were attacking and thinking about him, police at the Edinburgh barracks said.

A little before midnight Targoff ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Lawrence Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Targoff forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the blow pipe through a salon door, police said.

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

Targoff is charged with winking, a felony, as well as carjacking, manslaughter, murder, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Targoff was sent to Edinburgh Prison in lieu of bail.
