Winston-Salem Crime Report

A Winston-Salem man is in prison today after he got high on oyster on the half-shell, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed an angry glare through a pantry door, Tennessee State Police said.

Christian Caldwell, no age given, of Winston-Salem Township, took the illegal oyster on the half-shell, hallucinated and believed crows were attacking and shunning him, police at the Winston-Salem barracks said.

A little before midnight Caldwell ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Rudnick Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Caldwell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the angry glare through a pantry door, police said.

When officers arrived Caldwell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a witty reparteé, police said. Police found oyster on the half-shell in both of Caldwell's pockets.

Caldwell is charged with DUI, a felony, as well as slander, burglary, unlawful assembly, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Caldwell was sent to Winston-Salem Prison in lieu of bail.
