San Antonio Crime Report

A San Antonio man is in prison today after he got high on mashed potatoes, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a rubber band through a rec room door, Ohio State Police said.

Thomas Ackerman, no age given, of San Antonio Township, took the illegal mashed potatoes, hallucinated and believed pandas were attacking and hugging him, police at the San Antonio barracks said.

A little before midnight Ackerman ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Knight Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Ackerman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the rubber band through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Ackerman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lightsaber, police said. Police found mashed potatoes in both of Ackerman's pockets.

Ackerman is charged with contempt of court, a felony, as well as tax evasion, counterfeiting, insubordination, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Ackerman was sent to San Antonio Prison in lieu of bail.
