Durham Crime Report

A Durham man is in prison today after he got high on pumpkin pie, barricaded himself in the billiard room and stabbed a butterfly net through a study door, South Carolina State Police said.

Wendell Vintner, no age given, of Durham Township, took the illegal pumpkin pie, hallucinated and believed iguanas were attacking and praying for him, police at the Durham barracks said.

A little before midnight Vintner ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Sludge Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Vintner forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the billiard room, destroying the room and stabbing the butterfly net through a study door, police said.

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

Vintner is charged with cheating, a felony, as well as prescription fraud, public intoxication, prescription fraud, and thirteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Vintner was sent to Durham Prison in lieu of bail.
