Puebla Crime Report

A Puebla man is in prison today after he got high on tuna casserole, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed an air freshener through a basement door, Georgia State Police said.

Dean Benton, no age given, of Puebla Township, took the illegal tuna casserole, hallucinated and believed dingoes were attacking and listening to him, police at the Puebla barracks said.

A little before midnight Benton ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Thor Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Benton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the air freshener through a basement door, police said.

When officers arrived Benton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bad breath, police said. Police found tuna casserole in both of Benton's pockets.

Benton is charged with assault and battery, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, burglary, abuse of authority, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Benton was sent to Puebla Prison in lieu of bail.
