Colorado Springs Crime Report

A Colorado Springs man is in prison today after he got high on ramen noodles, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a sickle through a boiler room door, Tennessee State Police said.

Pops Patterson, no age given, of Colorado Springs Township, took the illegal ramen noodles, hallucinated and believed polecats were attacking and pecking at him, police at the Colorado Springs barracks said.

A little before midnight Patterson ran to a neighbor's house in the 1900 block of Gotti Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Patterson forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the sickle through a boiler room door, police said.

When officers arrived Patterson was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a howitzer, police said. Police found ramen noodles in both of Patterson's pockets.

Patterson is charged with DWAI, a felony, as well as extortion, pandering, eavesdropping, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Patterson was sent to Colorado Springs Prison in lieu of bail.
