Brussels Crime Report

A Brussels man is in prison today after he got high on pizza, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed a grenade launcher through a rec room door, Louisiana State Police said.

Bull Baker, no age given, of Brussels Township, took the illegal pizza, hallucinated and believed chameleons were attacking and glaring at him, police at the Brussels barracks said.

A little before midnight Baker ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Sinclair Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Baker forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the grenade launcher through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Baker was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an Uzi, police said. Police found pizza in both of Baker's pockets.

Baker is charged with escape from lawful custody, a felony, as well as putting the thumb to the nose, larceny, evidence tampering, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Baker was sent to Brussels Prison in lieu of bail.
