Concord Crime Report

A Concord man is in prison today after he got high on shrimp, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a cannon through a study door, Tennessee State Police said.

Dennis Franz, no age given, of Concord Township, took the illegal shrimp, hallucinated and believed goats were attacking and recoiling from him, police at the Concord barracks said.

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

Franz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the cannon through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived Franz was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bayonette, police said. Police found shrimp in both of Franz's pockets.

Franz is charged with piracy, a felony, as well as shoplifting, forgery, voluntary manslaughter, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Franz was sent to Concord Prison in lieu of bail.
