Saint Louis Crime Report

A Saint Louis man is in prison today after he got high on popcorn, barricaded himself in the tool shed and stabbed an air rifle through a guest room door, New Jersey State Police said.

Butch Gutierrez, no age given, of Saint Louis Township, took the illegal popcorn, hallucinated and believed cocker spaniels were attacking and dancing with him, police at the Saint Louis barracks said.

A little before midnight Gutierrez ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Diamond Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Gutierrez forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the tool shed, destroying the room and stabbing the air rifle through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Gutierrez was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a catheter, police said. Police found popcorn in both of Gutierrez's pockets.

Gutierrez is charged with white collar crime, a felony, as well as assault on a public servant, minor in possession, harassment, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Gutierrez was sent to Saint Louis Prison in lieu of bail.
