Savannah Crime Report

A Savannah man is in prison today after he got high on clam chowder, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a wooden stake through a pool room door, Nebraska State Police said.

Doug Ordway, no age given, of Savannah Township, took the illegal clam chowder, hallucinated and believed otters were attacking and ostracizing him, police at the Savannah barracks said.

A little before midnight Ordway ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Tannenbaum Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Ordway forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the wooden stake through a pool room door, police said.

When officers arrived Ordway was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an insect repellant, police said. Police found clam chowder in both of Ordway's pockets.

Ordway is charged with disturbing the peace, a felony, as well as larceny, perjury, extortion, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Ordway was sent to Savannah Prison in lieu of bail.
