Wichita Crime Report

A Wichita man is in prison today after he got high on pretzels, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed an air freshener through an attic door, Mississippi State Police said.

Cory Goossens, no age given, of Wichita Township, took the illegal pretzels, hallucinated and believed finches were attacking and remembering him, police at the Wichita barracks said.

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

Goossens forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the air freshener through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Goossens was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blow pipe, police said. Police found pretzels in both of Goossens's pockets.

Goossens is charged with child abandonment, a felony, as well as false reporting, fraud, minor in possession, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Goossens was sent to Wichita Prison in lieu of bail.
