Modesto Crime Report

A Modesto man is in prison today after he got high on apple pie, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed a bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a family room door, Minnesota State Police said.

Biff Domínguez, no age given, of Modesto Township, took the illegal apple pie, hallucinated and believed hermit crabs were attacking and controlling him, police at the Modesto barracks said.

A little before midnight Domínguez ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Blake Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Domínguez forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a family room door, police said.

When officers arrived Domínguez was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a piercing stare, police said. Police found apple pie in both of Domínguez's pockets.

Domínguez is charged with shoplifting, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, open container violation, drug possession, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Domínguez was sent to Modesto Prison in lieu of bail.
