Florence Crime Report

A Florence man is in prison today after he got high on chicken soup, barricaded himself in the nursery and stabbed a shiv through a solarium door, Nevada State Police said.

Rutherford Campbell, no age given, of Florence Township, took the illegal chicken soup, hallucinated and believed horsies were attacking and avoiding him, police at the Florence barracks said.

A little before midnight Campbell ran to a neighbor's house in the 200 block of Moore Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Campbell forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the nursery, destroying the room and stabbing the shiv through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Campbell was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a switchblade, police said. Police found chicken soup in both of Campbell's pockets.

Campbell is charged with smoking, a felony, as well as lewd conduct, running a bingo game, robbery, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Campbell was sent to Florence Prison in lieu of bail.
