Auckland Crime Report

An Auckland man is in prison today after he got high on chopped liver, barricaded himself in the oubliette and stabbed an Uzi through an attic door, New Mexico State Police said.

Alistair Bruce, no age given, of Auckland Township, took the illegal chopped liver, hallucinated and believed pigs were attacking and laughing at him, police at the Auckland barracks said.

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

Bruce forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the oubliette, destroying the room and stabbing the Uzi through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Bruce was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a truncheon, police said. Police found chopped liver in both of Bruce's pockets.

Bruce is charged with vagrancy, a felony, as well as theft, abuse of authority, disturbing the peace, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Bruce was sent to Auckland Prison in lieu of bail.
