Gilbert Crime Report

A Gilbert man is in prison today after he got high on crumb cake, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a hockey puck through a rec room door, Illinois State Police said.

Ichabod Witherbee, no age given, of Gilbert Township, took the illegal crumb cake, hallucinated and believed zebras were attacking and licking him, police at the Gilbert barracks said.

A little before midnight Witherbee ran to a neighbor's house in the 2200 block of Edwards Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Witherbee forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the hockey puck through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Witherbee was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a quick retort, police said. Police found crumb cake in both of Witherbee's pockets.

Witherbee is charged with perjury, a felony, as well as aggravated assault, tax fraud, pyramid schemes, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Witherbee was sent to Gilbert Prison in lieu of bail.
