Winston-Salem Crime Report

A Winston-Salem man is in prison today after he got high on banana split, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a candlestick through a billiard room door, Texas State Police said.

Beelzebub Lowry, no age given, of Winston-Salem Township, took the illegal banana split, hallucinated and believed hippopotami were attacking and losing him, police at the Winston-Salem barracks said.

A little before midnight Lowry ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Lord Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Lowry forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the candlestick through a billiard room door, police said.

When officers arrived Lowry was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a mosquito net, police said. Police found banana split in both of Lowry's pockets.

Lowry is charged with aiding and abetting, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, abduction, identity theft, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Lowry was sent to Winston-Salem Prison in lieu of bail.
