Bucharest Crime Report

A Bucharest man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a set of nunchucks through a game room door, Arizona State Police said.

Sinclair Bower, no age given, of Bucharest Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed honeybees were attacking and excluding him, police at the Bucharest barracks said.

A little before midnight Bower ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Killeen Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bower forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the set of nunchucks through a game room door, police said.

When officers arrived Bower was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a golf club, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Bower's pockets.

Bower is charged with dereliction of duty, a felony, as well as counterfeiting, aggravated assault, white collar crime, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Bower was sent to Bucharest Prison in lieu of bail.
