Santa Fe Crime Report

A Santa Fe man is in prison today after he got high on waffles, barricaded himself in the billiard room and stabbed a hedge trimmer through a garage door, South Dakota State Police said.

Dick O'Brien, no age given, of Santa Fe Township, took the illegal waffles, hallucinated and believed toads were attacking and quoting him, police at the Santa Fe barracks said.

A little before midnight O'Brien ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Goossens Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

O'Brien forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the billiard room, destroying the room and stabbing the hedge trimmer through a garage door, police said.

When officers arrived O'Brien was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bow and arrows, police said. Police found waffles in both of O'Brien's pockets.

O'Brien is charged with eavesdropping, a felony, as well as solicitation, arson, fraud, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

O'Brien was sent to Santa Fe Prison in lieu of bail.
