Santa Fe Crime Report

A Santa Fe man is in prison today after he got high on squash blossom soup, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a wet noodle through a master bathroom door, New Mexico State Police said.

Tex Sokolov, no age given, of Santa Fe Township, took the illegal squash blossom soup, hallucinated and believed canaries were attacking and enlightening him, police at the Santa Fe barracks said.

A little before midnight Sokolov ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Hunt Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

When officers arrived Sokolov was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a candlestick, police said. Police found squash blossom soup in both of Sokolov's pockets.

Sokolov is charged with terroristic threats, a felony, as well as slander, cyber bullying, false reporting, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Sokolov was sent to Santa Fe Prison in lieu of bail.
