Saskatoon Crime Report

A Saskatoon man is in prison today after he got high on borscht, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed a branding iron through a bedroom door, Massachusetts State Police said.

Rock Cradduck, no age given, of Saskatoon Township, took the illegal borscht, hallucinated and believed wallabies were attacking and replacing him, police at the Saskatoon barracks said.

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

Cradduck forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the branding iron through a bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Cradduck was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a branding iron, police said. Police found borscht in both of Cradduck's pockets.

Cradduck is charged with pyramid schemes, a felony, as well as murder, embezzlement, being a blithering idiot, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Cradduck was sent to Saskatoon Prison in lieu of bail.
