Grand Junction Crime Report

A Grand Junction man is in prison today after he got high on lamb curry, barricaded himself in the library and stabbed a squirt gun through an attic door, California State Police said.

Alberto Hayashida, no age given, of Grand Junction Township, took the illegal lamb curry, hallucinated and believed geese were attacking and blinking at him, police at the Grand Junction barracks said.

A little before midnight Hayashida ran to a neighbor's house in the 700 block of Sugarbaker Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hayashida forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the library, destroying the room and stabbing the squirt gun through an attic door, police said.

When officers arrived Hayashida was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bottle of Tabasco Sauce, police said. Police found lamb curry in both of Hayashida's pockets.

Hayashida is charged with minor in possession, a felony, as well as assault on a public servant, putting the thumb to the nose, blasphemy, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Hayashida was sent to Grand Junction Prison in lieu of bail.
