Canberra Crime Report

A Canberra man is in prison today after he got high on scrambled eggs, barricaded himself in the bathroom and stabbed a shoulder fired rocket through a doghouse door, Tennessee State Police said.

Chad Bentzinger, no age given, of Canberra Township, took the illegal scrambled eggs, hallucinated and believed penguins were attacking and sanitizing him, police at the Canberra barracks said.

A little before midnight Bentzinger ran to a neighbor's house in the 1000 block of Hayes Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bentzinger forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the bathroom, destroying the room and stabbing the shoulder fired rocket through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Bentzinger was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an iPod, police said. Police found scrambled eggs in both of Bentzinger's pockets.

Bentzinger is charged with forcible entry, a felony, as well as theft, fabrication of evidence, pandering, and two summary offenses, according to court records.

Bentzinger was sent to Canberra Prison in lieu of bail.
