Perth Amboy Crime Report

A Perth Amboy man is in prison today after he got high on tacos, barricaded himself in the master bathroom and stabbed an air freshener through a library door, Tennessee State Police said.

Scott Watts, no age given, of Perth Amboy Township, took the illegal tacos, hallucinated and believed elk were attacking and cuddling him, police at the Perth Amboy barracks said.

A little before midnight Watts ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Dewey Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Watts forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the air freshener through a library door, police said.

When officers arrived Watts was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a paddle, police said. Police found tacos in both of Watts's pockets.

Watts is charged with disturbing the peace, a felony, as well as open container violation, minor in possession, eavesdropping, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Watts was sent to Perth Amboy Prison in lieu of bail.
