Lubbock Crime Report

A Lubbock man is in prison today after he got high on Froot Loops, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a sickle through a porch door, Texas State Police said.

Marvin Cotton, no age given, of Lubbock Township, took the illegal Froot Loops, hallucinated and believed tapeworms were attacking and deceiving him, police at the Lubbock barracks said.

A little before midnight Cotton ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Thurston Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cotton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the sickle through a porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Cotton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lasso, police said. Police found Froot Loops in both of Cotton's pockets.

Cotton is charged with fashion faux-pas, a felony, as well as vandalism, winking, child abuse, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Cotton was sent to Lubbock Prison in lieu of bail.
