Eau Claire Crime Report

An Eau Claire man is in prison today after he got high on cherries jubilee, barricaded himself in the pantry and stabbed a stethoscope through a rec room door, Alabama State Police said.

Alex Dubois, no age given, of Eau Claire Township, took the illegal cherries jubilee, hallucinated and believed swans were attacking and hypnotizing him, police at the Eau Claire barracks said.

A little before midnight Dubois ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Geiger Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Dubois forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pantry, destroying the room and stabbing the stethoscope through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Dubois was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a baseball bat, police said. Police found cherries jubilee in both of Dubois's pockets.

Dubois is charged with child abuse, a felony, as well as conspiracy, DWAI, child abandonment, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Dubois was sent to Eau Claire Prison in lieu of bail.
