Perth Amboy Crime Report

A Perth Amboy man is in prison today after he got high on beef bouillon, barricaded himself in the basement and stabbed a wet noodle through a front porch door, Idaho State Police said.

Arnie Porterfield, no age given, of Perth Amboy Township, took the illegal beef bouillon, hallucinated and believed duck-billed platypi were attacking and punishing him, police at the Perth Amboy barracks said.

A little before midnight Porterfield ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Katz Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Porterfield forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the basement, destroying the room and stabbing the wet noodle through a front porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Porterfield was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a water balloon, police said. Police found beef bouillon in both of Porterfield's pockets.

Porterfield is charged with escape from lawful custody, a felony, as well as harassment, computer crime, shoplifting, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Porterfield was sent to Perth Amboy Prison in lieu of bail.
