WINONA, Minn. – A man was arrested inside Perkins restaurant after hours — and was not happy about it. Police said Joseph Allan Peaslee, 31, fought them off until they finally dragged him out and even then had to be wrestled to the ground to get him into a squad car. This was about 3:30 a.m. Police had been alerted to an intruder by a remote motion detector alarm at the check-out counter. At first, police said, Peaslee refused to come out. When they got to him, he seemed hallucinating. He told officers he worked for the CIA, that restaurant staff had just run out the back, and that he was being served and waited on.
Peaselee. At Perkins, 950 Mankato Avenue.
