Cleveland Crime Report

A Cleveland man is in prison today after he got high on chicken pot pie, barricaded himself in the atrium and stabbed a brick through a kitchen door, Nebraska State Police said.

Morrie McCracken, no age given, of Cleveland Township, took the illegal chicken pot pie, hallucinated and believed chickens were attacking and massaging him, police at the Cleveland barracks said.

A little before midnight McCracken ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Soto Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

McCracken forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the atrium, destroying the room and stabbing the brick through a kitchen door, police said.

When officers arrived McCracken was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an air rifle, police said. Police found chicken pot pie in both of McCracken's pockets.

McCracken is charged with evading arrest, a felony, as well as vandalism, fraud, malicious mischief, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

McCracken was sent to Cleveland Prison in lieu of bail.
