Taiwan Crime Report

A Taiwan man is in prison today after he got high on fish and chips, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a rubber band through a tool shed door, North Dakota State Police said.

Cat Bentzinger, no age given, of Taiwan Township, took the illegal fish and chips, hallucinated and believed ferrets were attacking and making a face at him, police at the Taiwan barracks said.

A little before midnight Bentzinger ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Paulson Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bentzinger forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the rubber band through a tool shed door, police said.

When officers arrived Bentzinger was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a baton, police said. Police found fish and chips in both of Bentzinger's pockets.

Bentzinger is charged with white collar crime, a felony, as well as pyramid schemes, domestic violence, incitement, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Bentzinger was sent to Taiwan Prison in lieu of bail.
