Mobile Crime Report

A Mobile man is in prison today after he got high on chicken gumbo, barricaded himself in the ballroom and stabbed a soldering iron through a master bedroom door, Puerto Rico State Police said.

Antonio Powers, no age given, of Mobile Township, took the illegal chicken gumbo, hallucinated and believed cockatiels were attacking and appeasing him, police at the Mobile barracks said.

A little before midnight Powers ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Easton Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Powers forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the ballroom, destroying the room and stabbing the soldering iron through a master bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Powers was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a fishing pole, police said. Police found chicken gumbo in both of Powers's pockets.

Powers is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as aggravated assault, assault on a public servant, DWI, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Powers was sent to Mobile Prison in lieu of bail.
