(WNYT) A Halfmoon man allegedly broke into his neighbor’s house to save the family dog from a fire, Thursday night. But there was no fire, troopers say he was on LSD and hallucinating.
Troopers say 43-year-old Michael Orchard of Inglewood Drive told them he mixed LSD with cough medicine, 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.
