Hamburg Crime Report

A Hamburg man is in prison today after he got high on cabbage rolls, barricaded himself in the conservatory and stabbed a bullwhip through a study door, Missouri State Police said.

Benjamin Rossi, no age given, of Hamburg Township, took the illegal cabbage rolls, hallucinated and believed sasquatches were attacking and injuring him, police at the Hamburg barracks said.

A little before midnight Rossi ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Gare Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Rossi forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the conservatory, destroying the room and stabbing the bullwhip through a study door, police said.

When officers arrived Rossi was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an Uzi, police said. Police found cabbage rolls in both of Rossi's pockets.

Rossi is charged with perjury, a felony, as well as computer crime, lewd conduct, DWI, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Rossi was sent to Hamburg Prison in lieu of bail.
