Chesapeake Crime Report

A Chesapeake man is in prison today after he got high on enchiladas, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a grenade launcher through an atrium door, Vermont State Police said.

Samuel Vintner, no age given, of Chesapeake Township, took the illegal enchiladas, hallucinated and believed owls were attacking and suing him, police at the Chesapeake barracks said.

A little before midnight Vintner ran to a neighbor's house in the 100 block of Sullivan Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Vintner forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the grenade launcher through an atrium door, police said.

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

Vintner is charged with DUI, a felony, as well as assault on a public servant, aiding and abetting, contempt of court, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Vintner was sent to Chesapeake Prison in lieu of bail.
