Thornton Crime Report

A Thornton man is in prison today after he got high on biscuits and gravy, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a golf club through a pool room door, Oregon State Police said.

Cyrus McIntire, no age given, of Thornton Township, took the illegal biscuits and gravy, hallucinated and believed finches were attacking and tormenting him, police at the Thornton barracks said.

A little before midnight McIntire ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Hunter Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

McIntire forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the golf club through a pool room door, police said.

When officers arrived McIntire was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a photon torpedo, police said. Police found biscuits and gravy in both of McIntire's pockets.

McIntire is charged with second degree murder, a felony, as well as minor in possession, running a bingo game, grave robbery, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

McIntire was sent to Thornton Prison in lieu of bail.
