Gettysburg Crime Report

A Gettysburg man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a stink bomb through a billiard room door, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Stuart Katz, no age given, of Gettysburg Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed chipmunks were attacking and splitting up with him, police at the Gettysburg barracks said.

A little before midnight Katz ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Plummer Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Katz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the stink bomb through a billiard room door, police said.

When officers arrived Katz was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a ghetto blaster, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Katz's pockets.

Katz is charged with fraud, a felony, as well as burglary, criminal contempt, wire fraud, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Katz was sent to Gettysburg Prison in lieu of bail.
