Madrid Crime Report

A Madrid man is in prison today after he got high on pancakes, barricaded himself in the billiard room and stabbed a parlor trick through a tool shed door, California State Police said.

Saul Hart, no age given, of Madrid Township, took the illegal pancakes, hallucinated and believed robots were attacking and praising him, police at the Madrid barracks said.

A little before midnight Hart ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Boyd Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hart forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the billiard room, destroying the room and stabbing the parlor trick through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Hart was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can of Raid, police said. Police found pancakes in both of Hart's pockets.

Hart is charged with forgery, a felony, as well as tax fraud, assault on a public servant, computer crime, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Hart was sent to Madrid Prison in lieu of bail.
