Timbuktu Crime Report

A Timbuktu man is in prison today after he got high on spaghetti, barricaded himself in the oubliette and stabbed a lightsaber through a rec room door, California State Police said.

Otto Badwell, no age given, of Timbuktu Township, took the illegal spaghetti, hallucinated and believed whales were attacking and banishing him, police at the Timbuktu barracks said.

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

Badwell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the oubliette, destroying the room and stabbing the lightsaber through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Badwell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found spaghetti in both of Badwell's pockets.

Badwell is charged with amphetamine distribution, a felony, as well as solicitation, embezzlement, assault and battery, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Badwell was sent to Timbuktu Prison in lieu of bail.
