Newark Crime Report

A Newark man is in prison today after he got high on apple pie, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a billy club through a salon door, Massachusetts State Police said.

Devin Hunt, no age given, of Newark Township, took the illegal apple pie, hallucinated and believed dromedaries were attacking and dumping him, police at the Newark barracks said.

A little before midnight Hunt ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Truman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hunt forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the billy club through a salon door, police said.

When officers arrived Hunt was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a syringe, police said. Police found apple pie in both of Hunt's pockets.

Hunt is charged with robbery, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, flirting, homicide, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Hunt was sent to Newark Prison in lieu of bail.
