Hamburg Crime Report

A Hamburg man is in prison today after he got high on popcorn, barricaded himself in the family room and stabbed a smoke bomb through a solarium door, Hawaii State Police said.

Dirk Nguyen, no age given, of Hamburg Township, took the illegal popcorn, hallucinated and believed cockatiels were attacking and delighting him, police at the Hamburg barracks said.

A little before midnight Nguyen ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Truong Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Nguyen forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the family room, destroying the room and stabbing the smoke bomb through a solarium door, police said.

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

Nguyen is charged with evidence tampering, a felony, as well as probation violation, aiding and abetting, larceny, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Nguyen was sent to Hamburg Prison in lieu of bail.
