Tallahassee Crime Report

A Tallahassee man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the porch and stabbed a Colt 45 through an auditorium door, Alaska State Police said.

Dirk Torres, no age given, of Tallahassee Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed sloths were attacking and tattling on him, police at the Tallahassee barracks said.

A little before midnight Torres ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Barber Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Torres forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the porch, destroying the room and stabbing the Colt 45 through an auditorium door, police said.

When officers arrived Torres was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a soldering iron, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Torres's pockets.

Torres is charged with criminal contempt, a felony, as well as criminal contempt, computer crime, mayhem, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Torres was sent to Tallahassee Prison in lieu of bail.
