Midland Crime Report

A Midland man is in prison today after he got high on scrambled eggs, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a baseball bat through a master bedroom door, North Carolina State Police said.

Biff Cunningham, no age given, of Midland Township, took the illegal scrambled eggs, hallucinated and believed partridges were attacking and winking at him, police at the Midland barracks said.

A little before midnight Cunningham ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Griggs Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cunningham forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the baseball bat through a master bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Cunningham was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an angry glare, police said. Police found scrambled eggs in both of Cunningham's pockets.

Cunningham is charged with grave robbery, a felony, as well as vagrancy, hate crimes, identity theft, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Cunningham was sent to Midland Prison in lieu of bail.
