Winston-Salem Crime Report

A Winston-Salem man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed an AK-47 through a closet door, Oregon State Police said.

Luther Nyberg, no age given, of Winston-Salem Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed foxes were attacking and stepping on him, police at the Winston-Salem barracks said.

A little before midnight Nyberg ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Washington Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Nyberg forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the AK-47 through a closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Nyberg was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a disinfectant, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Nyberg's pockets.

Nyberg is charged with smoking, a felony, as well as computer crime, minor in possession, being ugly in public, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Nyberg was sent to Winston-Salem Prison in lieu of bail.
