Las Vegas Crime Report

A Las Vegas man is in prison today after he got high on chocolate-covered ants, barricaded himself in the doghouse and stabbed a roll of duct tape through a cage door, South Carolina State Police said.

Cheng Flash, no age given, of Las Vegas Township, took the illegal chocolate-covered ants, hallucinated and believed roosters were attacking and subduing him, police at the Las Vegas barracks said.

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

Flash forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the doghouse, destroying the room and stabbing the roll of duct tape through a cage door, police said.

When officers arrived Flash was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a street sweeper, police said. Police found chocolate-covered ants in both of Flash's pockets.

Flash is charged with swearing, a felony, as well as minor in possession, bribery, kidnapping, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Flash was sent to Las Vegas Prison in lieu of bail.
