Buenos Aires Crime Report

A Buenos Aires man is in prison today after he got high on enchiladas, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a butcher knife through a pool room door, Hawaii State Police said.

Harvey Berkowitz, no age given, of Buenos Aires Township, took the illegal enchiladas, hallucinated and believed colts were attacking and wrestling with him, police at the Buenos Aires barracks said.

A little before midnight Berkowitz ran to a neighbor's house in the 1200 block of Holt Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Berkowitz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the butcher knife through a pool room door, police said.

When officers arrived Berkowitz was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a vial of poison, police said. Police found enchiladas in both of Berkowitz's pockets.

Berkowitz is charged with drug possession, a felony, as well as burglary, eavesdropping, counterfeiting, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Berkowitz was sent to Buenos Aires Prison in lieu of bail.
