Baton Rouge Crime Report

A Baton Rouge man is in prison today after he got high on prune pudding, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a camera through a basement door, Utah State Police said.

Quincy Metzger, no age given, of Baton Rouge Township, took the illegal prune pudding, hallucinated and believed gazelles were attacking and having a talk with him, police at the Baton Rouge barracks said.

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

Metzger forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the camera through a basement door, police said.

When officers arrived Metzger was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a syringe, police said. Police found prune pudding in both of Metzger's pockets.

Metzger is charged with shoplifting, a felony, as well as unlawful assembly, racketeering, prostitution, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Metzger was sent to Baton Rouge Prison in lieu of bail.
