San Salvador Crime Report

A San Salvador man is in prison today after he got high on fish and chips, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a hammer through a pantry door, California State Police said.

Knuckles Gupta, no age given, of San Salvador Township, took the illegal fish and chips, hallucinated and believed prairie dogs were attacking and blinking at him, police at the San Salvador barracks said.

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

Gupta forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the hammer through a pantry door, police said.

When officers arrived Gupta was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a syringe, police said. Police found fish and chips in both of Gupta's pockets.

Gupta is charged with harassment, a felony, as well as resisting arrest, computer crime, slander, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Gupta was sent to San Salvador Prison in lieu of bail.
