A man from Halfmoon in Saratoga County, New York, allegedly broke into
his neighbor's house to save the family dog from a fire on Thursday
night. But there was no fire, troopers say he was on LSD and
hallucinating.
Troopers say 43-year-old Michael Orchard told them he mixed LSD with
cough medicine on Thursday afternoon. And they found him, standing
heroically with a dog in his arms outside of what he thought was a giant
inferno.
"He believed that the residence was on fire. And he was rescuing the
dog," said Trooper Mark Cepiel, Troop G Spokesperson. Neighbors say that Orchard went around the neighborhood banging on
doors yelling about a fire. Since no one would help, because there was
no fire, the animal lover took matters into his own hands to save the
dog.
Allegedly driving his black BMW sedan through the fence. Troopers say
once Orchard got through this fence with his vehicle, he got out, went
up to the back door, smashed through it, and went inside to save the family's large white dog.
Orchard was charged with second degree burglary and third degree criminal mischief and put in county jail on $15,000 bail.
Troopers say Orchard was very cooperative. The dog was unharmed.
