Brownsville Crime Report

A Brownsville man is in prison today after he got high on crumb cake, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed an iPod through a nursery door, Nebraska State Police said.

Abel Deng, no age given, of Brownsville Township, took the illegal crumb cake, hallucinated and believed hyenas were attacking and trying to control him, police at the Brownsville barracks said.

A little before midnight Deng ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Gross Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Deng forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the iPod through a nursery door, police said.

When officers arrived Deng was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an automatic rifle, police said. Police found crumb cake in both of Deng's pockets.

Deng is charged with piracy, a felony, as well as evidence tampering, involuntary manslaughter, dereliction of duty, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Deng was sent to Brownsville Prison in lieu of bail.
