Winston-Salem Crime Report

A Winston-Salem man is in prison today after he got high on moo goo gai pan, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a can opener through a lounge door, North Carolina State Police said.

Todd Bruno, no age given, of Winston-Salem Township, took the illegal moo goo gai pan, hallucinated and believed snipes were attacking and disinfecting him, police at the Winston-Salem barracks said.

A little before midnight Bruno ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Ulster Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Bruno forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the can opener through a lounge door, police said.

When officers arrived Bruno was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a grenade launcher, police said. Police found moo goo gai pan in both of Bruno's pockets.

Bruno is charged with DWI, a felony, as well as amphetamine distribution, child abuse, racketeering, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Bruno was sent to Winston-Salem Prison in lieu of bail.
