Montreal Crime Report

A Montreal man is in prison today after he got high on jambalaya, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a can of Raid through a study door, Illinois State Police said.

Geoffrey Rudd, no age given, of Montreal Township, took the illegal jambalaya, hallucinated and believed cockroaches were attacking and breaking him, police at the Montreal barracks said.

A little before midnight Rudd ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Walla Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Rudd forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the can of Raid through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived Rudd was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Colt 45, police said. Police found jambalaya in both of Rudd's pockets.

Rudd is charged with being ugly in public, a felony, as well as DWAI, putting the thumb to the nose, larceny, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Rudd was sent to Montreal Prison in lieu of bail.
