Eau Claire Crime Report

An Eau Claire man is in prison today after he got high on cabbage, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a street sweeper through a solarium door, California State Police said.

Kim Rogers, no age given, of Eau Claire Township, took the illegal cabbage, hallucinated and believed rattlesnakes were attacking and bumping him, police at the Eau Claire barracks said.

A little before midnight Rogers ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Harrison Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Rogers forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the street sweeper through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Rogers was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a hatchet, police said. Police found cabbage in both of Rogers's pockets.

Rogers is charged with being a blithering idiot, a felony, as well as drug trafficking, probation violation, fraud, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Rogers was sent to Eau Claire Prison in lieu of bail.
