Charlotte Crime Report

A Charlotte man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed a howitzer through a dining room door, Idaho State Police said.

Frank Moreland, no age given, of Charlotte Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed horsies were attacking and marrying him, police at the Charlotte barracks said.

A little before midnight Moreland ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Caldwell Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Moreland forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the howitzer through a dining room door, police said.

When officers arrived Moreland was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a firecracker, police said. Police found country glazed ham in both of Moreland's pockets.

Moreland is charged with child abandonment, a felony, as well as amphetamine distribution, homicide, harassment, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Moreland was sent to Charlotte Prison in lieu of bail.
