Plano Crime Report

A Plano man is in prison today after he got high on hash, barricaded himself in the attic and stabbed a blackjack through a front porch door, Louisiana State Police said.

Carl Frankle, no age given, of Plano Township, took the illegal hash, hallucinated and believed ring-tailed lemurs were attacking and sitting on him, police at the Plano barracks said.

A little before midnight Frankle ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Benson Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Frankle forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the attic, destroying the room and stabbing the blackjack through a front porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Frankle was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a grenade launcher, police said. Police found hash in both of Frankle's pockets.

Frankle is charged with fabrication of evidence, a felony, as well as perjury, robbery, child abandonment, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Frankle was sent to Plano Prison in lieu of bail.
