Hannover Crime Report

A Hannover man is in prison today after he got high on pumpkin pie, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a cobra through an atrium door, North Carolina State Police said.

Wayne Bushnell, no age given, of Hannover Township, took the illegal pumpkin pie, hallucinated and believed musk-oxen were attacking and massaging him, police at the Hannover barracks said.

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

Bushnell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the cobra through an atrium door, police said.

When officers arrived Bushnell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Bowie knife, police said. Police found pumpkin pie in both of Bushnell's pockets.

Bushnell is charged with winking, a felony, as well as malicious mischief, smoking, stalking, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Bushnell was sent to Hannover Prison in lieu of bail.
