Hiroshima Crime Report

A Hiroshima man is in prison today after he got high on egg rolls, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed a baseball bat through a corridor door, North Dakota State Police said.

Mel Cruz, no age given, of Hiroshima Township, took the illegal egg rolls, hallucinated and believed rabbits were attacking and tricking him, police at the Hiroshima barracks said.

A little before midnight Cruz ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Swoopes Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cruz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the baseball bat through a corridor door, police said.

When officers arrived Cruz was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a dirt clod, police said. Police found egg rolls in both of Cruz's pockets.

Cruz is charged with escape from lawful custody, a felony, as well as grave robbery, extortion, perjury, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Cruz was sent to Hiroshima Prison in lieu of bail.
