Corona Crime Report

A Corona man is in prison today after he got high on corn on the cob, barricaded himself in the guest room and stabbed an AK-47 through a cage door, North Carolina State Police said.

Humphrey Kringle, no age given, of Corona Township, took the illegal corn on the cob, hallucinated and believed gila monsters were attacking and educating him, police at the Corona barracks said.

A little before midnight Kringle ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Griebel Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Kringle forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the guest room, destroying the room and stabbing the AK-47 through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Kringle was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found corn on the cob in both of Kringle's pockets.

Kringle is charged with abduction, a felony, as well as disturbing the peace, solicitation, inebriation, and ten summary offenses, according to court records.

Kringle was sent to Corona Prison in lieu of bail.
