Charleston Crime Report

A Charleston man is in prison today after he got high on cookies, barricaded himself in the family room and stabbed a wet washrag through an auditorium door, Hawaii State Police said.

Russell Kuma, no age given, of Charleston Township, took the illegal cookies, hallucinated and believed spiders were attacking and disparaging him, police at the Charleston barracks said.

A little before midnight Kuma ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Tubman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Kuma forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the family room, destroying the room and stabbing the wet washrag through an auditorium door, police said.

When officers arrived Kuma was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can of shaving cream, police said. Police found cookies in both of Kuma's pockets.

Kuma is charged with child abuse, a felony, as well as manslaughter, assault on a public servant, larceny, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Kuma was sent to Charleston Prison in lieu of bail.
