Escondido Crime Report

An Escondido man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a ghetto blaster through a pantry door, Maine State Police said.

Zack Brainard, no age given, of Escondido Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed Siamese cats were attacking and tantalizing him, police at the Escondido barracks said.

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

Brainard forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the ghetto blaster through a pantry door, police said.

When officers arrived Brainard was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a parlor trick, police said. Police found roast turkey in both of Brainard's pockets.

Brainard is charged with vagrancy, a felony, as well as fraud, evidence tampering, amphetamine distribution, and nineteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Brainard was sent to Escondido Prison in lieu of bail.
