Topeka Crime Report

A Topeka man is in prison today after he got high on applesauce, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a parlor door, South Carolina State Police said.

Buck Suzuki, no age given, of Topeka Township, took the illegal applesauce, hallucinated and believed sloths were attacking and understanding him, police at the Topeka barracks said.

A little before midnight Suzuki ran to a neighbor's house in the 600 block of Selby Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Suzuki forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the bottle of Tabasco Sauce through a parlor door, police said.

When officers arrived Suzuki was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a catheter, police said. Police found applesauce in both of Suzuki's pockets.

Suzuki is charged with second degree murder, a felony, as well as slander, bribery, stalking, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

Suzuki was sent to Topeka Prison in lieu of bail.
