Peoria Crime Report

A Peoria man is in prison today after he got high on roast Cornish game hen, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a billy club through a game room door, Massachusetts State Police said.

Wilbur Rawlings, no age given, of Peoria Township, took the illegal roast Cornish game hen, hallucinated and believed leopards were attacking and excluding him, police at the Peoria barracks said.

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

Rawlings forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the billy club through a game room door, police said.

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

Rawlings is charged with stalking, a felony, as well as robbery, child abandonment, child abandonment, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Rawlings was sent to Peoria Prison in lieu of bail.
