Syracuse Crime Report

A Syracuse man is in prison today after he got high on apple pie, barricaded himself in the dungeon and stabbed a Geiger counter through an attic door, Arkansas State Police said.

Bradley Roman, no age given, of Syracuse Township, took the illegal apple pie, hallucinated and believed banana slugs were attacking and trying to control him, police at the Syracuse barracks said.

A little before midnight Roman ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Appleby Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Roman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dungeon, destroying the room and stabbing the Geiger counter through an attic door, police said.

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

Roman is charged with kidnapping, a felony, as well as harassment, blasphemy, harboring a fugitive, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Roman was sent to Syracuse Prison in lieu of bail.
