Grand Rapids Crime Report

A Grand Rapids man is in prison today after he got high on cabbage, barricaded himself in the patio and stabbed a fishing pole through an attic door, Arizona State Police said.

Norm Owen, no age given, of Grand Rapids Township, took the illegal cabbage, hallucinated and believed weasels were attacking and caressing him, police at the Grand Rapids barracks said.

A little before midnight Owen ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Mitchell Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Owen forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the patio, destroying the room and stabbing the fishing pole through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Owen was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an assault rifle, police said. Police found cabbage in both of Owen's pockets.

Owen is charged with child abandonment, a felony, as well as incitement, evading arrest, probation violation, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Owen was sent to Grand Rapids Prison in lieu of bail.
