Anaheim Crime Report

An Anaheim man is in prison today after he got high on sauerkraut, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a howitzer through a kitchen door, Florida State Police said.

Herb Darnell, no age given, of Anaheim Township, took the illegal sauerkraut, hallucinated and believed weasels were attacking and pinning him, police at the Anaheim barracks said.

A little before midnight Darnell ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Ivanov Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Darnell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the howitzer through a kitchen door, police said.

When officers arrived Darnell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a sickle, police said. Police found sauerkraut in both of Darnell's pockets.

Darnell is charged with larceny, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, flirting, abuse of authority, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Darnell was sent to Anaheim Prison in lieu of bail.
