Columbus Crime Report

A Columbus man is in prison today after he got high on applesauce, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a pair of brass knuckles through a nursery door, Alaska State Police said.

Patrick Jacobsen, no age given, of Columbus Township, took the illegal applesauce, hallucinated and believed bulls were attacking and winking at him, police at the Columbus barracks said.

A little before midnight Jacobsen ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Spence Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Jacobsen forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the pair of brass knuckles through a nursery door, police said.

When officers arrived Jacobsen was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a wet washrag, police said. Police found applesauce in both of Jacobsen's pockets.

Jacobsen is charged with disturbing the peace, a felony, as well as putting the thumb to the nose, swearing, assault and battery, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Jacobsen was sent to Columbus Prison in lieu of bail.
