Bakersfield Crime Report

A Bakersfield man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed a rope through a nursery door, Alabama State Police said.

Dylan Plunkett, no age given, of Bakersfield Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed hyenas were attacking and screaming at him, police at the Bakersfield barracks said.

A little before midnight Plunkett ran to a neighbor's house in the 1800 block of Windle Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Plunkett forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the rope through a nursery door, police said.

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

Plunkett is charged with harboring a fugitive, a felony, as well as counterfeiting, voluntary manslaughter, cheating, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Plunkett was sent to Bakersfield Prison in lieu of bail.
