A Halfmoon (NY) man allegedly broke into his neighbor’s house to save the family dog from a fire, Thursday night. However, 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.
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 developers say they’ve already ordered the victims a new door. The dog was unharmed.
