Grand Rapids Crime Report

A Grand Rapids man is in prison today after he got high on egg salad sandwich, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a Colt 45 through a linen closet door, Virgin Islands State Police said.

Ryan Yale, no age given, of Grand Rapids Township, took the illegal egg salad sandwich, hallucinated and believed birds were attacking and watching him, police at the Grand Rapids barracks said.

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

Yale forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the Colt 45 through a linen closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Yale was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a musket, police said. Police found egg salad sandwich in both of Yale's pockets.

Yale is charged with public intoxication, a felony, as well as spitting, libel, harassment, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Yale was sent to Grand Rapids Prison in lieu of bail.
