Sapporo Crime Report

A Sapporo man is in prison today after he got high on pumpkin pie, barricaded himself in the parlor and stabbed a tomahawk through an attic door, North Dakota State Police said.

Stu Flowers, no age given, of Sapporo Township, took the illegal pumpkin pie, hallucinated and believed chickens were attacking and stopping him, police at the Sapporo barracks said.

A little before midnight Flowers ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Hillman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Flowers forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the parlor, destroying the room and stabbing the tomahawk through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Flowers was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lasso, police said. Police found pumpkin pie in both of Flowers's pockets.

Flowers is charged with fabrication of evidence, a felony, as well as harassment, libel, incitement, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Flowers was sent to Sapporo Prison in lieu of bail.
