Acid Trip Leads to Jail


On October 23 at 2:30am, police were dispatched to the 400 block of N 6th Ave for a suspicious/disorderly complaint for a male yelling and banging on a home's front door; the owner did not know the suspect.  When police arrived, they found the suspect, a 21 yr old male from Sturgeon Bay, laying on the sidewalk face down, screaming.  It was a cold night, but the male was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and soaking wet, believed to be from sweating.  When the officers went to assist the male, he began screaming and swearing at officers.  The suspect was arrested for disorderly conduct and once in the back of the squad car, he began to bang his head on the squad cage, injuring himself.  The suspect was then transported to DCMC by ambulance for medical treatment for the injury and his admission he had taken acid.  

Further investigation found the suspect had broken the front door he was banging on.  The suspect was also out on felony bond conditions from another criminal cause.  Once medically stable and cleared, the suspect was taken to jail and charged with disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property and felony bail jumping.  

During a follow up interview, the suspect reported to have taken two hits of acid/LSD, but no other drugs.  The suspect did not remember most of the events that had transpired.  The suspect would not tell police how he obtained the acid.
