Cairo Crime Report

A Cairo man is in prison today after he got high on banana split, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed a battle axe through a porch door, Connecticut State Police said.

José England, no age given, of Cairo Township, took the illegal banana split, hallucinated and believed buffalo were attacking and frying him, police at the Cairo barracks said.

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

England forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the battle axe through a porch door, police said.

When officers arrived England was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dirk, police said. Police found banana split in both of England's pockets.

England is charged with stalking, a felony, as well as first degree murder, wire fraud, cheating, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

England was sent to Cairo Prison in lieu of bail.
