Authorities said Mr Soto told police that he believed the drugs given to him by his friend were "laced" with "an unknown psychotic". J Hanley, an Illinois state attorney, told reporters at a press conference on Thursday that Mr Soto said he "became paranoid after the drug usage". The attack began around 13:15 EST (17:15 GMT) shortly after the suspect arrived at Jacob Schupbach's home, where he said he smoked marijuana, authorities say. Witnesses speaking to CBS News, the BBC's media partner, said they saw the suspect chasing Jacob across the lawn, hitting and stabbing him before getting into his pickup truck and running him over before Jacob ran back inside. Over the span of roughly 20 minutes, police say the suspect travelled around several nearby streets and broke into multiple homes.
