Auckland Crime Report

An Auckland man is in prison today after he got high on applesauce, barricaded himself in the family room and stabbed a Bowie knife through a front porch door, Massachusetts State Police said.

Caleb Smith, no age given, of Auckland Township, took the illegal applesauce, hallucinated and believed warthogs were attacking and pushing him, police at the Auckland barracks said.

A little before midnight Smith ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Jankowski Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Smith forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the family room, destroying the room and stabbing the Bowie knife through a front porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Smith was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a harpoon, police said. Police found applesauce in both of Smith's pockets.

Smith is charged with assault on a public servant, a felony, as well as larceny, open container violation, blasphemy, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Smith was sent to Auckland Prison in lieu of bail.
