Clarksville Crime Report

A Clarksville man is in prison today after he got high on fried okra, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed a banjo through a billiard room door, North Carolina State Police said.

Spud Apple, no age given, of Clarksville Township, took the illegal fried okra, hallucinated and believed foxes were attacking and quieting him, police at the Clarksville barracks said.

A little before midnight Apple ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Onassis Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Apple forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the banjo through a billiard room door, police said.

When officers arrived Apple was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a wet noodle, police said. Police found fried okra in both of Apple's pockets.

Apple is charged with spitting, a felony, as well as being ugly in public, tax fraud, white collar crime, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Apple was sent to Clarksville Prison in lieu of bail.
