COLORADO SPRINGS -- A man who claimed to be God fought through two taser blasts before officers tackled and arrested him Thursday morning.
Colorado Springs police say 21-year-old Jorelle Antivo charged officers in the hallway at an apartment building in the central part of the city at about 3:40 a.m.
Police had been called to the Residence at Austin Bluffs, an apartment complex near Austin Bluffs Pkwy and N. Academy Blvd., to investigate a report of a burglary.
That's when they found the Antivo, who investigators say admitted to smoking psilocybin mushrooms, also known as "magic mushrooms," a hallucinogenic drug with similar effects to LSD.

Local gardeners are discovering a crop that does its best work in damp, shady conditions.
Watauga Cooperative Extension Service agent Richard Boylan said that even after more than seven years of offering workshops in the area, the extension service still gets requests for more information on shiitake mushrooms.
While many producers grow mushrooms for home use, it's also become a commodity at local farmers' markets, selling for between $10 and $20 a pound.
