Grand Junction Crime Report

A Grand Junction man is in prison today after he got high on sauerkraut, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed a battle axe through a nursery door, Maryland State Police said.

Gabriel Vanderbilt, no age given, of Grand Junction Township, took the illegal sauerkraut, hallucinated and believed tarantulas were attacking and forgetting him, police at the Grand Junction barracks said.

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

Vanderbilt forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the battle axe through a nursery door, police said.

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

Vanderbilt is charged with public intoxication, a felony, as well as money laundering, fraud, winking, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Vanderbilt was sent to Grand Junction Prison in lieu of bail.
