Rotterdam Crime Report

A Rotterdam man is in prison today after he got high on corn on the cob, barricaded himself in the study and stabbed a grenade launcher through an attic door, Vermont State Police said.

Yancey Nicholas, no age given, of Rotterdam Township, took the illegal corn on the cob, hallucinated and believed pandas were attacking and training him, police at the Rotterdam barracks said.

A little before midnight Nicholas ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Lyman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Nicholas forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the study, destroying the room and stabbing the grenade launcher through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Nicholas was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a catheter, police said. Police found corn on the cob in both of Nicholas's pockets.

Nicholas is charged with securities fraud, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, theft, smoking, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Nicholas was sent to Rotterdam Prison in lieu of bail.
