Budapest Crime Report

A Budapest man is in prison today after he got high on apple pie, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a spear through a cage door, Louisiana State Police said.

Running Bear Van Hollen, no age given, of Budapest Township, took the illegal apple pie, hallucinated and believed elk were attacking and joking with him, police at the Budapest barracks said.

A little before midnight Van Hollen ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Hart Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Van Hollen forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the spear through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Van Hollen was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found apple pie in both of Van Hollen's pockets.

Van Hollen is charged with perjury, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, bribery, lewd conduct, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Van Hollen was sent to Budapest Prison in lieu of bail.
