Louisville Crime Report

A Louisville man is in prison today after he got high on roast Cornish game hen, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed an air rifle through a lounge door, New Mexico State Police said.

Pedro Morales, no age given, of Louisville Township, took the illegal roast Cornish game hen, hallucinated and believed groundhogs were attacking and burying him, police at the Louisville barracks said.

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

Morales forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the air rifle through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Morales was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blank stare, police said. Police found roast Cornish game hen in both of Morales's pockets.

Morales is charged with DUI, a felony, as well as evidence tampering, libel, drug manufacturing, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Morales was sent to Louisville Prison in lieu of bail.
