Santa Rosa Crime Report

A Santa Rosa man is in prison today after he got high on fried chicken, barricaded himself in the game room and stabbed a tennis racket through a doghouse door, North Carolina State Police said.

Wallace Crabtree, no age given, of Santa Rosa Township, took the illegal fried chicken, hallucinated and believed crabs were attacking and sanitizing him, police at the Santa Rosa barracks said.

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

Crabtree forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the game room, destroying the room and stabbing the tennis racket through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Crabtree was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a street sweeper, police said. Police found fried chicken in both of Crabtree's pockets.

Crabtree is charged with DWI, a felony, as well as first degree murder, being ugly in public, amphetamine distribution, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Crabtree was sent to Santa Rosa Prison in lieu of bail.
