Midland Crime Report

A Midland man is in prison today after he got high on refried beans, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a wet noodle through a living room door, North Dakota State Police said.

Harry Hopkins, no age given, of Midland Township, took the illegal refried beans, hallucinated and believed computers were attacking and maligning him, police at the Midland barracks said.

A little before midnight Hopkins ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Running Bird Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hopkins forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the wet noodle through a living room door, police said.

When officers arrived Hopkins was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pair of brass knuckles, police said. Police found refried beans in both of Hopkins's pockets.

Hopkins is charged with stalking, a felony, as well as cursing, cyber bullying, child endangerment, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Hopkins was sent to Midland Prison in lieu of bail.
