Little Big Horn Crime Report

A Little Big Horn man is in prison today after he got high on catfish stew, barricaded himself in the pool room and stabbed a machete through a linen closet door, South Carolina State Police said.

Ray Wenzel, no age given, of Little Big Horn Township, took the illegal catfish stew, hallucinated and believed spiders were attacking and poisoning him, police at the Little Big Horn barracks said.

A little before midnight Wenzel ran to a neighbor's house in the 2500 block of Gentry Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Wenzel forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the pool room, destroying the room and stabbing the machete through a linen closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Wenzel was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a political action committee, police said. Police found catfish stew in both of Wenzel's pockets.

Wenzel is charged with terroristic threats, a felony, as well as embezzlement, assault on a public servant, white collar crime, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Wenzel was sent to Little Big Horn Prison in lieu of bail.
