Mexico City Crime Report

A Mexico City man is in prison today after he got high on pancakes, barricaded himself in the conservatory and stabbed a hammer through a dining room door, Indiana State Police said.

Alton Brooks, no age given, of Mexico City Township, took the illegal pancakes, hallucinated and believed gila monsters were attacking and spitting at him, police at the Mexico City barracks said.

A little before midnight Brooks ran to a neighbor's house in the 1800 block of Quill Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Brooks forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the conservatory, destroying the room and stabbing the hammer through a dining room door, police said.

When officers arrived Brooks was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a hatchet, police said. Police found pancakes in both of Brooks's pockets.

Brooks is charged with public intoxication, a felony, as well as securities fraud, minor in possession, embezzlement, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Brooks was sent to Mexico City Prison in lieu of bail.
