Canberra Crime Report

A Canberra man is in prison today after he got high on egg salad sandwich, barricaded himself in the servant's quarters and stabbed a shoulder fired rocket through a workshop door, Delaware State Police said.

Rip Thomas, no age given, of Canberra Township, took the illegal egg salad sandwich, hallucinated and believed yetis were attacking and satisfying him, police at the Canberra barracks said.

A little before midnight Thomas ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Armstrong Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Thomas forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the servant's quarters, destroying the room and stabbing the shoulder fired rocket through a workshop door, police said.

When officers arrived Thomas was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a spear, police said. Police found egg salad sandwich in both of Thomas's pockets.

Thomas is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as assault with a deadly weapon, blasphemy, malicious mischief, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Thomas was sent to Canberra Prison in lieu of bail.
