Madrid Crime Report

A Madrid man is in prison today after he got high on French fries, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a lariat through a guest room door, Mississippi State Police said.

Eric Vintner, no age given, of Madrid Township, took the illegal French fries, hallucinated and believed Pekingeses were attacking and leading him, police at the Madrid barracks said.

A little before midnight Vintner ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Rosen Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Vintner forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the lariat through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Vintner was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found French fries in both of Vintner's pockets.

Vintner is charged with robbery, a felony, as well as malicious mischief, aiding and abetting, eavesdropping, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Vintner was sent to Madrid Prison in lieu of bail.
