Atlanta Crime Report

An Atlanta man is in prison today after he got high on wienerschnitzel, barricaded himself in the lounge and stabbed a weed whacker through a ballroom door, North Dakota State Police said.

Lawrence Vaniman, no age given, of Atlanta Township, took the illegal wienerschnitzel, hallucinated and believed gnus were attacking and disinfecting him, police at the Atlanta barracks said.

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

Vaniman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the lounge, destroying the room and stabbing the weed whacker through a ballroom door, police said.

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

Vaniman is charged with probation violation, a felony, as well as bribery, tax fraud, unlawful assembly, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Vaniman was sent to Atlanta Prison in lieu of bail.
