Bridgeport Crime Report

A Bridgeport man is in prison today after he got high on sauerkraut, barricaded himself in the master bedroom and stabbed a dirt clod through a foyer door, California State Police said.

Bum Arp, no age given, of Bridgeport Township, took the illegal sauerkraut, hallucinated and believed pandas were attacking and scaring him, police at the Bridgeport barracks said.

A little before midnight Arp ran to a neighbor's house in the 1300 block of Potter Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Arp forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the master bedroom, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a foyer door, police said.

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

Arp is charged with solicitation, a felony, as well as homicide, spitting, criminal contempt, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Arp was sent to Bridgeport Prison in lieu of bail.
