Atlanta Crime Report

An Atlanta man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed an air freshener through a corridor door, Tennessee State Police said.

Guy Kaplan, no age given, of Atlanta Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed worms were attacking and pinning him, police at the Atlanta barracks said.

A little before midnight Kaplan ran to a neighbor's house in the 1700 block of Ordway Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Kaplan forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the air freshener through a corridor door, police said.

When officers arrived Kaplan was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can of Raid, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Kaplan's pockets.

Kaplan is charged with securities fraud, a felony, as well as kidnapping, malicious mischief, amphetamine distribution, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Kaplan was sent to Atlanta Prison in lieu of bail.
