Brussels Crime Report

A Brussels man is in prison today after he got high on banana split, barricaded himself in the servant's quarters and stabbed a can opener through a lounge door, Connecticut State Police said.

Stephen Kuma, no age given, of Brussels Township, took the illegal banana split, hallucinated and believed mules were attacking and glaring at him, police at the Brussels barracks said.

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

Kuma forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the servant's quarters, destroying the room and stabbing the can opener through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Kuma was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a roll of duct tape, police said. Police found banana split in both of Kuma's pockets.

Kuma is charged with child abuse, a felony, as well as vagrancy, public intoxication, false reporting, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Kuma was sent to Brussels Prison in lieu of bail.
