Pasadena Crime Report

A Pasadena man is in prison today after he got high on shrimp, barricaded himself in the outhouse and stabbed a street sweeper through a bedroom door, Kentucky State Police said.

Royce Sweeney, no age given, of Pasadena Township, took the illegal shrimp, hallucinated and believed hogs were attacking and examining him, police at the Pasadena barracks said.

A little before midnight Sweeney ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Dotson Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Sweeney forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the outhouse, destroying the room and stabbing the street sweeper through a bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Sweeney was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a shoulder fired rocket, police said. Police found shrimp in both of Sweeney's pockets.

Sweeney is charged with cyber bullying, a felony, as well as conspiracy, public intoxication, child abuse, and fourteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Sweeney was sent to Pasadena Prison in lieu of bail.
