Santa Rosa Crime Report

A Santa Rosa man is in prison today after he got high on steak, barricaded himself in the attic and stabbed a Geiger counter through a garage door, South Dakota State Police said.

Horst Stucky, no age given, of Santa Rosa Township, took the illegal steak, hallucinated and believed minks were attacking and berating him, police at the Santa Rosa barracks said.

A little before midnight Stucky ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Rowling Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Stucky forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the attic, destroying the room and stabbing the Geiger counter through a garage door, police said.

When officers arrived Stucky was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a baton, police said. Police found steak in both of Stucky's pockets.

Stucky is charged with DWAI, a felony, as well as hate crimes, fraud, theft, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Stucky was sent to Santa Rosa Prison in lieu of bail.
