Lake Placid Crime Report

A Lake Placid man is in prison today after he got high on lasagna, barricaded himself in the garage and stabbed a six-pack through a tool shed door, Louisiana State Police said.

Dusty Cruz, no age given, of Lake Placid Township, took the illegal lasagna, hallucinated and believed crocodiles were attacking and massaging him, police at the Lake Placid barracks said.

A little before midnight Cruz ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Bowman Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Cruz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the garage, destroying the room and stabbing the six-pack through a tool shed door, police said.

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

Cruz is charged with counterfeiting, a felony, as well as unlawful assembly, solicitation, pyramid schemes, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Cruz was sent to Lake Placid Prison in lieu of bail.
