San Diego Crime Report

A San Diego man is in prison today after he got high on macaroni and cheese, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a candlestick through a guest room door, California State Police said.

André Espinoza, no age given, of San Diego Township, took the illegal macaroni and cheese, hallucinated and believed Guinea pigs were attacking and charming him, police at the San Diego barracks said.

A little before midnight Espinoza ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Papadopoulos Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Espinoza forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the candlestick through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Espinoza was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a rope, police said. Police found macaroni and cheese in both of Espinoza's pockets.

Espinoza is charged with first degree murder, a felony, as well as harboring a fugitive, domestic violence, probation violation, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Espinoza was sent to San Diego Prison in lieu of bail.
