Berlin Crime Report

A Berlin man is in prison today after he got high on chopped liver, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed an iPod through a library door, Massachusetts State Police said.

Allan Nixon, no age given, of Berlin Township, took the illegal chopped liver, hallucinated and believed owls were attacking and kicking him, police at the Berlin barracks said.

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

Nixon forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the iPod through a library door, police said.

When officers arrived Nixon was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a roll of duct tape, police said. Police found chopped liver in both of Nixon's pockets.

Nixon is charged with piracy, a felony, as well as carjacking, incitement, cheating, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Nixon was sent to Berlin Prison in lieu of bail.
