Garden Grove Crime Report

A Garden Grove man is in prison today after he got high on strawberry shortcake, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a ghetto blaster through a master bathroom door, California State Police said.

Cornelius Stephens, no age given, of Garden Grove Township, took the illegal strawberry shortcake, hallucinated and believed gerbils were attacking and shunning him, police at the Garden Grove barracks said.

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

Stephens forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the ghetto blaster through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Stephens was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lariat, police said. Police found strawberry shortcake in both of Stephens's pockets.

Stephens is charged with evidence tampering, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, minor in possession, probation violation, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Stephens was sent to Garden Grove Prison in lieu of bail.
