Dublin Crime Report

A Dublin man is in prison today after he got high on chicken gumbo, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a broadsword through a rec room door, Georgia State Police said.

Pops Appleby, no age given, of Dublin Township, took the illegal chicken gumbo, hallucinated and believed honeybees were attacking and shaking him, police at the Dublin barracks said.

A little before midnight Appleby ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Potatohead Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Appleby forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the broadsword through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Appleby was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a rattlesnake, police said. Police found chicken gumbo in both of Appleby's pockets.

Appleby is charged with abduction, a felony, as well as desertion, conduct unbecoming, piracy, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Appleby was sent to Dublin Prison in lieu of bail.
