Manila Crime Report

A Manila man is in prison today after he got high on beans, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a wet noodle through a master bedroom door, Rhode Island State Police said.

Abel Singh, no age given, of Manila Township, took the illegal beans, hallucinated and believed cheetahs were attacking and ridiculing him, police at the Manila barracks said.

A little before midnight Singh ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Harmon Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Singh forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the wet noodle through a master bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Singh was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a wooden stake, police said. Police found beans in both of Singh's pockets.

Singh is charged with public intoxication, a felony, as well as involuntary manslaughter, homicide, harassment, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Singh was sent to Manila Prison in lieu of bail.
