Eugene Crime Report

An Eugene man is in prison today after he got high on cabbage, barricaded himself in the auditorium and stabbed a dirt clod through a doghouse door, South Carolina State Police said.

DeWitt Apple, no age given, of Eugene Township, took the illegal cabbage, hallucinated and believed rattlesnakes were attacking and having a talk with him, police at the Eugene barracks said.

A little before midnight Apple ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of German Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Apple forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the auditorium, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a doghouse door, police said.

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

Apple is charged with harboring a fugitive, a felony, as well as minor in possession, unlawful assembly, swearing, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Apple was sent to Eugene Prison in lieu of bail.
