Birmingham Crime Report

A Birmingham man is in prison today after he got high on wienerschnitzel, barricaded himself in the porch and stabbed a catheter through a linen closet door, Minnesota State Police said.

Bradley Butterfield, no age given, of Birmingham Township, took the illegal wienerschnitzel, hallucinated and believed kittens were attacking and dating him, police at the Birmingham barracks said.

A little before midnight Butterfield ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Porrello Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Butterfield forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the porch, destroying the room and stabbing the catheter through a linen closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Butterfield was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a six-pack, police said. Police found wienerschnitzel in both of Butterfield's pockets.

Butterfield is charged with arson, a felony, as well as involuntary manslaughter, piracy, perjury, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Butterfield was sent to Birmingham Prison in lieu of bail.
