Concord Crime Report

A Concord man is in prison today after he got high on pot roast, barricaded himself in the porch and stabbed a cobra through a living room door, Alabama State Police said.

Harvey Springer, no age given, of Concord Township, took the illegal pot roast, hallucinated and believed rhinoceroses were attacking and texting him, police at the Concord barracks said.

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

Springer forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the porch, destroying the room and stabbing the cobra through a living room door, police said.

When officers arrived Springer was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a slingshot, police said. Police found pot roast in both of Springer's pockets.

Springer is charged with slander, a felony, as well as computer crime, criminal contempt, dereliction of duty, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Springer was sent to Concord Prison in lieu of bail.
