Detroit Crime Report

A Detroit man is in prison today after he got high on Swiss cheese, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed a street sweeper through a boiler room door, Vermont State Police said.

Brett Sorensen, no age given, of Detroit Township, took the illegal Swiss cheese, hallucinated and believed ravens were attacking and opposing him, police at the Detroit barracks said.

A little before midnight Sorensen ran to a neighbor's house in the 800 block of Bianchi Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Sorensen forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the street sweeper through a boiler room door, police said.

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

Sorensen is charged with stalking, a felony, as well as winking, unlawful assembly, extortion, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Sorensen was sent to Detroit Prison in lieu of bail.
