Akron Crime Report

An Akron man is in prison today after he got high on cornbread, barricaded himself in the workshop and stabbed a potato masher through a solarium door, Wyoming State Police said.

Damien O'Sullivan, no age given, of Akron Township, took the illegal cornbread, hallucinated and believed banana slugs were attacking and looking at him, police at the Akron barracks said.

A little before midnight O'Sullivan ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Grundy Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

O'Sullivan forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the workshop, destroying the room and stabbing the potato masher through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived O'Sullivan was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a potato masher, police said. Police found cornbread in both of O'Sullivan's pockets.

O'Sullivan is charged with perjury, a felony, as well as public intoxication, smoking, open container violation, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

O'Sullivan was sent to Akron Prison in lieu of bail.
