Poughkeepsie Crime Report

A Poughkeepsie man is in prison today after he got high on refried beans, barricaded himself in the servant's quarters and stabbed a blow gun through a hall door, Louisiana State Police said.

Marcus Tate, no age given, of Poughkeepsie Township, took the illegal refried beans, hallucinated and believed sasquatches were attacking and spitting at him, police at the Poughkeepsie barracks said.

A little before midnight Tate ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Potatohead Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Tate forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the servant's quarters, destroying the room and stabbing the blow gun through a hall door, police said.

When officers arrived Tate was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a magic spell, police said. Police found refried beans in both of Tate's pockets.

Tate is charged with kidnapping, a felony, as well as trespass, arson, assault and battery, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Tate was sent to Poughkeepsie Prison in lieu of bail.
