Brisbane Crime Report

A Brisbane man is in prison today after he got high on Swiss cheese, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a potato masher through a lounge door, Nebraska State Police said.

Angelo Houston, no age given, of Brisbane Township, took the illegal Swiss cheese, hallucinated and believed monkeys were attacking and aweing him, police at the Brisbane barracks said.

A little before midnight Houston ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Downey Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Houston forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the potato masher through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Houston was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a stick of dynamite, police said. Police found Swiss cheese in both of Houston's pockets.

Houston is charged with solicitation, a felony, as well as DUI, drug manufacturing, treason, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Houston was sent to Brisbane Prison in lieu of bail.
