Springfield Crime Report

A Springfield man is in prison today after he got high on lasagna, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed an atomic weapon through a living room door, North Carolina State Police said.

Fred Douglas, no age given, of Springfield Township, took the illegal lasagna, hallucinated and believed pigs were attacking and caring for him, police at the Springfield barracks said.

A little before midnight Douglas ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Bransen Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Douglas forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the atomic weapon through a living room door, police said.

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

Douglas is charged with lewd conduct, a felony, as well as solicitation, smoking, drug trafficking, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Douglas was sent to Springfield Prison in lieu of bail.
