Athens Crime Report

An Athens man is in prison today after he got high on wienerschnitzel, barricaded himself in the hall and stabbed a water balloon through an oubliette door, Maryland State Police said.

Marty Saint Pierre, no age given, of Athens Township, took the illegal wienerschnitzel, hallucinated and believed ladybugs were attacking and pleasing him, police at the Athens barracks said.

A little before midnight Saint Pierre ran to a neighbor's house in the 1900 block of Yager Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Saint Pierre forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the hall, destroying the room and stabbing the water balloon through an oubliette door, police said.

When officers arrived Saint Pierre was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a howitzer, police said. Police found wienerschnitzel in both of Saint Pierre's pockets.

Saint Pierre is charged with mayhem, a felony, as well as insubordination, child abuse, libel, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Saint Pierre was sent to Athens Prison in lieu of bail.
