A man hallucinating from taking LSD is accused of crashing his car through a neighbor's fence, smashing their glass door and stealing their dog in order to rescue it from an imaginary fire, police say.

Michael Orchard

Michael Orchard, 43, of Halfmoon, was charged with burglary in the second degree and criminal mischief in the third degree, both felonies, after the incident on Thursday night, WTEN-TV.

When police arrived at the scene, they saw Orchard standing in the road holding the dog, which he peacefully handed over.

State Police spokesman Mark Cepiel told the Times Union that Orchard told police he was "rescuing the dog from the house," and that he had used acid that night.

Before crashing through the fence and breaking into the home, he had driven from his property across several yards.

The dog was returned unharmed to its owner, WRGB-TV reported.

Orchard was arraigned in Halfmoon Court and remanded to Saratoga County Jail.
