Topeka Crime Report

A Topeka man is in prison today after he got high on tortillas, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a parlor trick through a tool shed door, Minnesota State Police said.

Eldon Weston, no age given, of Topeka Township, took the illegal tortillas, hallucinated and believed ghosts were attacking and encouraging him, police at the Topeka barracks said.

A little before midnight Weston ran to a neighbor's house in the 1900 block of Bergstrom Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Weston forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the parlor trick through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Weston was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an iPod, police said. Police found tortillas in both of Weston's pockets.

Weston is charged with child endangerment, a felony, as well as mayhem, assault and battery, minor in possession, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Weston was sent to Topeka Prison in lieu of bail.
