Cheyenne Crime Report

A Cheyenne man is in prison today after he got high on Swiss cheese, barricaded himself in the study and stabbed a six-pack through a bedroom door, Utah State Police said.

Gus De Luca, no age given, of Cheyenne Township, took the illegal Swiss cheese, hallucinated and believed sloths were attacking and smiling at him, police at the Cheyenne barracks said.

A little before midnight De Luca ran to a neighbor's house in the 500 block of Yoshida Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

De Luca forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the study, destroying the room and stabbing the six-pack through a bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived De Luca was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a candlestick, police said. Police found Swiss cheese in both of De Luca's pockets.

De Luca is charged with drug manufacturing, a felony, as well as bribery, extortion, cheating, and five summary offenses, according to court records.

De Luca was sent to Cheyenne Prison in lieu of bail.
