Johannesburg Crime Report

A Johannesburg man is in prison today after he got high on pecan pie, barricaded himself in the solarium and stabbed a wet noodle through a rec room door, New Jersey State Police said.

Abe Russell, no age given, of Johannesburg Township, took the illegal pecan pie, hallucinated and believed lambs were attacking and covering him, police at the Johannesburg barracks said.

A little before midnight Russell ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Palmer Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Russell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the solarium, destroying the room and stabbing the wet noodle through a rec room door, police said.

When officers arrived Russell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a six-shooter, police said. Police found pecan pie in both of Russell's pockets.

Russell is charged with open container violation, a felony, as well as fashion faux-pas, forgery, being ugly in public, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Russell was sent to Johannesburg Prison in lieu of bail.
