Houston Crime Report

A Houston man is in prison today after he got high on pizza, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed a stash of bribe money through a doghouse door, South Dakota State Police said.

Rico Cutler, no age given, of Houston Township, took the illegal pizza, hallucinated and believed phantoms were attacking and replacing him, police at the Houston barracks said.

A little before midnight Cutler ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Rush Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cutler forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the stash of bribe money through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Cutler was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a street sweeper, police said. Police found pizza in both of Cutler's pockets.

Cutler is charged with forgery, a felony, as well as assault and battery, assault on a public servant, sedition, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Cutler was sent to Houston Prison in lieu of bail.
