Davenport Crime Report

A Davenport man is in prison today after he got high on lime sherbet, barricaded himself in the pantry and stabbed a lasso through a tool shed door, Maine State Police said.

Rip Patterson, no age given, of Davenport Township, took the illegal lime sherbet, hallucinated and believed spiders were attacking and overlooking him, police at the Davenport barracks said.

A little before midnight Patterson ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Myers Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Patterson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pantry, destroying the room and stabbing the lasso through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Patterson was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lifesaver, police said. Police found lime sherbet in both of Patterson's pockets.

Patterson is charged with amphetamine distribution, a felony, as well as computer crime, hanky-panky, counterfeiting, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Patterson was sent to Davenport Prison in lieu of bail.
