Joliet Crime Report

A Joliet man is in prison today after he got high on roast Cornish game hen, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a stick of dynamite through a doghouse door, South Carolina State Police said.

Frank Alexander, no age given, of Joliet Township, took the illegal roast Cornish game hen, hallucinated and believed prairie dogs were attacking and giggling at him, police at the Joliet barracks said.

A little before midnight Alexander ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Peterson Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Alexander forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the stick of dynamite through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Alexander was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a cobra, police said. Police found roast Cornish game hen in both of Alexander's pockets.

Alexander is charged with running a bingo game, a felony, as well as dereliction of duty, evading arrest, larceny, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Alexander was sent to Joliet Prison in lieu of bail.
