Fargo Crime Report

A Fargo man is in prison today after he got high on tuna casserole, barricaded himself in the atrium and stabbed a torpedo through a nursery door, Arkansas State Police said.

Conrad Hopkins, no age given, of Fargo Township, took the illegal tuna casserole, hallucinated and believed gila monsters were attacking and investigating him, police at the Fargo barracks said.

A little before midnight Hopkins ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Khanh Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hopkins forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the atrium, destroying the room and stabbing the torpedo through a nursery door, police said.

When officers arrived Hopkins was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a tennis racket, police said. Police found tuna casserole in both of Hopkins's pockets.

Hopkins is charged with assault on a public servant, a felony, as well as child abandonment, minor in possession, first degree murder, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Hopkins was sent to Fargo Prison in lieu of bail.
