Hastings Crime Report

A Hastings man is in prison today after he got high on macaroni and cheese, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a dirt clod through a dungeon door, New Hampshire State Police said.

Norm Glidden, no age given, of Hastings Township, took the illegal macaroni and cheese, hallucinated and believed teddy bears were attacking and grilling him, police at the Hastings barracks said.

A little before midnight Glidden ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Porterfield Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Glidden forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a dungeon door, police said.

When officers arrived Glidden was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a firecracker, police said. Police found macaroni and cheese in both of Glidden's pockets.

Glidden is charged with open container violation, a felony, as well as trespass, indecent exposure, espionage, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Glidden was sent to Hastings Prison in lieu of bail.
