San Diego Crime Report

A San Diego man is in prison today after he got high on ramen noodles, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a supply of courage through a boiler room door, Idaho State Police said.

Howard Sarma, no age given, of San Diego Township, took the illegal ramen noodles, hallucinated and believed pheasants were attacking and stepping on him, police at the San Diego barracks said.

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

Sarma forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the supply of courage through a boiler room door, police said.

When officers arrived Sarma was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a pair of brass knuckles, police said. Police found ramen noodles in both of Sarma's pockets.

Sarma is charged with insurance fraud, a felony, as well as theft, forcible entry, fabrication of evidence, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Sarma was sent to San Diego Prison in lieu of bail.
