Laramie Crime Report

A Laramie man is in prison today after he got high on fried okra, barricaded himself in the bedroom and stabbed a brick through a study door, New Mexico State Police said.

Boots German, no age given, of Laramie Township, took the illegal fried okra, hallucinated and believed orangutans were attacking and chatting with him, police at the Laramie barracks said.

A little before midnight German ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Lopez Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

German forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the brick through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived German was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can opener, police said. Police found fried okra in both of German's pockets.

German is charged with aiding and abetting, a felony, as well as theft, wire fraud, false reporting, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

German was sent to Laramie Prison in lieu of bail.
