Norfolk Crime Report

A Norfolk man is in prison today after he got high on pancakes, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed a potato masher through a dining room door, New Hampshire State Police said.

Steven Spanbauer, no age given, of Norfolk Township, took the illegal pancakes, hallucinated and believed yaks were attacking and injuring him, police at the Norfolk barracks said.

A little before midnight Spanbauer ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Cornish Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Spanbauer forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the potato masher through a dining room door, police said.

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

Spanbauer is charged with winking, a felony, as well as wire fraud, DWI, kidnapping, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Spanbauer was sent to Norfolk Prison in lieu of bail.
