Canberra Crime Report

A Canberra man is in prison today after he got high on chicken pot pie, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a handful of dirt through an attic door, Puerto Rico State Police said.

Beelzebub Owens, no age given, of Canberra Township, took the illegal chicken pot pie, hallucinated and believed whales were attacking and playing with him, police at the Canberra barracks said.

A little before midnight Owens ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Jankowski Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Owens forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the handful of dirt through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Owens was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a rattlesnake, police said. Police found chicken pot pie in both of Owens's pockets.

Owens is charged with involuntary manslaughter, a felony, as well as forcible entry, false reporting, cheating, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Owens was sent to Canberra Prison in lieu of bail.
