Los Angeles Crime Report

A Los Angeles man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a butcher knife through a cage door, Maine State Police said.

Joseph Cosak, no age given, of Los Angeles Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed squirrels were attacking and going out with him, police at the Los Angeles barracks said.

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

Cosak forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the butcher knife through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Cosak was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an atomic weapon, police said. Police found country glazed ham in both of Cosak's pockets.

Cosak is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, DWI, embezzlement, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Cosak was sent to Los Angeles Prison in lieu of bail.
