Carlsbad Crime Report

A Carlsbad man is in prison today after he got high on wienerschnitzel, barricaded himself in the corridor and stabbed a blank stare through a closet door, Iowa State Police said.

Conner Cairns, no age given, of Carlsbad Township, took the illegal wienerschnitzel, hallucinated and believed chipmunks were attacking and betraying him, police at the Carlsbad barracks said.

A little before midnight Cairns ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Greenshields Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cairns forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the corridor, destroying the room and stabbing the blank stare through a closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Cairns was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a street sweeper, police said. Police found wienerschnitzel in both of Cairns's pockets.

Cairns is charged with larceny, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, forgery, public intoxication, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Cairns was sent to Carlsbad Prison in lieu of bail.
