Tempe Crime Report

A Tempe man is in prison today after he got high on strawberry shortcake, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a blow pipe through a lounge door, Idaho State Police said.

Fuzz Booth, no age given, of Tempe Township, took the illegal strawberry shortcake, hallucinated and believed Chihuahuas were attacking and frustrating him, police at the Tempe barracks said.

A little before midnight Booth ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Sargent Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Booth forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the blow pipe through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Booth was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bayonette, police said. Police found strawberry shortcake in both of Booth's pockets.

Booth is charged with fraud, a felony, as well as flirting, mayhem, manslaughter, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Booth was sent to Tempe Prison in lieu of bail.
