San Angelo Crime Report

A San Angelo man is in prison today after he got high on pumpkin pie, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a lightsaber through an auditorium door, Wisconsin State Police said.

Arnold Bernstein, no age given, of San Angelo Township, took the illegal pumpkin pie, hallucinated and believed swans were attacking and laughing at him, police at the San Angelo barracks said.

A little before midnight Bernstein ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Dion Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bernstein forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the lightsaber through an auditorium door, police said.

When officers arrived Bernstein was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a machete, police said. Police found pumpkin pie in both of Bernstein's pockets.

Bernstein is charged with aggravated assault, a felony, as well as vandalism, involuntary manslaughter, fashion faux-pas, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Bernstein was sent to San Angelo Prison in lieu of bail.
