Des Moines Crime Report

A Des Moines man is in prison today after he got high on ice cream, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a vial of poison through a garage door, North Carolina State Police said.

Christian Nixon, no age given, of Des Moines Township, took the illegal ice cream, hallucinated and believed fish were attacking and reeducating him, police at the Des Moines barracks said.

A little before midnight Nixon ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Dowd Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Nixon forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the vial of poison through a garage door, police said.

When officers arrived Nixon was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a squirt gun, police said. Police found ice cream in both of Nixon's pockets.

Nixon is charged with dereliction of duty, a felony, as well as criminal contempt, telemarketing fraud, disorderly conduct, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Nixon was sent to Des Moines Prison in lieu of bail.
