Pueblo Crime Report

A Pueblo man is in prison today after he got high on banana split, barricaded himself in the porch and stabbed a dirt clod through an outhouse door, Maryland State Police said.

Plato Swaanhof, no age given, of Pueblo Township, took the illegal banana split, hallucinated and believed trolls were attacking and leaving him, police at the Pueblo barracks said.

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

Swaanhof forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the porch, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through an outhouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Swaanhof was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a blow gun, police said. Police found banana split in both of Swaanhof's pockets.

Swaanhof is charged with mayhem, a felony, as well as cursing, insubordination, kidnapping, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Swaanhof was sent to Pueblo Prison in lieu of bail.
