Chesapeake Crime Report

A Chesapeake man is in prison today after he got high on chicken soup, barricaded himself in the attic and stabbed a scalpel through a solarium door, South Carolina State Police said.

Saul Brady, no age given, of Chesapeake Township, took the illegal chicken soup, hallucinated and believed hermit crabs were attacking and suspecting him, police at the Chesapeake barracks said.

A little before midnight Brady ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Brandon Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Brady forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the attic, destroying the room and stabbing the scalpel through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Brady was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Nerf bat, police said. Police found chicken soup in both of Brady's pockets.

Brady is charged with disturbing the peace, a felony, as well as harassment, assault with a deadly weapon, smoking, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Brady was sent to Chesapeake Prison in lieu of bail.
