Cheyenne Crime Report

A Cheyenne man is in prison today after he got high on French fries, barricaded himself in the dungeon and stabbed an automatic rifle through a solarium door, Utah State Police said.

Jerry Hillman, no age given, of Cheyenne Township, took the illegal French fries, hallucinated and believed grasshoppers were attacking and sneering at him, police at the Cheyenne barracks said.

A little before midnight Hillman ran to a neighbor's house in the 1400 block of Ratwort Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hillman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dungeon, destroying the room and stabbing the automatic rifle through a solarium door, police said.

When officers arrived Hillman was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a bayonette, police said. Police found French fries in both of Hillman's pockets.

Hillman is charged with open container violation, a felony, as well as unlawful assembly, second degree murder, drug manufacturing, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Hillman was sent to Cheyenne Prison in lieu of bail.
