Cincinnati Crime Report

A Cincinnati man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the lounge and stabbed a can of spray paint through an atrium door, Wisconsin State Police said.

Kurt Richards, no age given, of Cincinnati Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed finches were attacking and pushing him, police at the Cincinnati barracks said.

A little before midnight Richards ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Wilder Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Richards forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the lounge, destroying the room and stabbing the can of spray paint through an atrium door, police said.

When officers arrived Richards was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lance, police said. Police found roast beef in both of Richards's pockets.

Richards is charged with computer crime, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, public intoxication, vandalism, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Richards was sent to Cincinnati Prison in lieu of bail.
