Bull Run Crime Report

A Bull Run man is in prison today after he got high on roast beef, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a defibrillator through a patio door, Iowa State Police said.

Scotty Burt, no age given, of Bull Run Township, took the illegal roast beef, hallucinated and believed giraffes were attacking and remembering him, police at the Bull Run barracks said.

A little before midnight Burt ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Webb Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Burt forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the defibrillator through a patio door, police said.

When officers arrived Burt was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an iPod, police said. Police found roast beef in both of Burt's pockets.

Burt is charged with inebriation, a felony, as well as computer crime, resisting arrest, pandering, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Burt was sent to Bull Run Prison in lieu of bail.
