Hamburg Crime Report

A Hamburg man is in prison today after he got high on chicken chow mein, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a shotgun through a billiard room door, New Hampshire State Police said.

Humphrey Fields, no age given, of Hamburg Township, took the illegal chicken chow mein, hallucinated and believed quails were attacking and joking with him, police at the Hamburg barracks said.

A little before midnight Fields ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Albrandt Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Fields forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the shotgun through a billiard room door, police said.

When officers arrived Fields was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blunderbuss, police said. Police found chicken chow mein in both of Fields's pockets.

Fields is charged with forcible entry, a felony, as well as hate crimes, abuse of authority, cheating, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Fields was sent to Hamburg Prison in lieu of bail.
