Irving Crime Report

An Irving man is in prison today after he got high on Cheerios, barricaded himself in the basement and stabbed a rattlesnake through a workshop door, Maine State Police said.

Stu Reyes, no age given, of Irving Township, took the illegal Cheerios, hallucinated and believed geese were attacking and teasing him, police at the Irving barracks said.

A little before midnight Reyes ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Everett Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Reyes forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the basement, destroying the room and stabbing the rattlesnake through a workshop door, police said.

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

Reyes is charged with burglary, a felony, as well as harassment, unlawful assembly, assault with a deadly weapon, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Reyes was sent to Irving Prison in lieu of bail.
