Pasadena Crime Report

A Pasadena man is in prison today after he got high on scrambled eggs, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a bullwhip through a rec room door, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Bert Moodle, no age given, of Pasadena Township, took the illegal scrambled eggs, hallucinated and believed cocker spaniels were attacking and tormenting him, police at the Pasadena barracks said.

A little before midnight Moodle ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Burner Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Moodle forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the bullwhip through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Moodle was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a knife, police said. Police found scrambled eggs in both of Moodle's pockets.

Moodle is charged with tax fraud, a felony, as well as running a bingo game, contempt of court, amphetamine distribution, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Moodle was sent to Pasadena Prison in lieu of bail.
