Fremont Crime Report

A Fremont man is in prison today after he got high on sweet potatoes, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a ghetto blaster through a laundry room door, Indiana State Police said.

Aiden Crabtree, no age given, of Fremont Township, took the illegal sweet potatoes, hallucinated and believed airedales were attacking and poking him, police at the Fremont barracks said.

A little before midnight Crabtree ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Ferber Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Crabtree forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the ghetto blaster through a laundry room door, police said.

When officers arrived Crabtree was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dart gun, police said. Police found sweet potatoes in both of Crabtree's pockets.

Crabtree is charged with fabrication of evidence, a felony, as well as manslaughter, DUI, identity theft, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Crabtree was sent to Fremont Prison in lieu of bail.
