Seattle Crime Report

A Seattle man is in prison today after he got high on lime sherbet, barricaded himself in the dining room and stabbed a truncheon through a foyer door, Louisiana State Police said.

Newton Popp, no age given, of Seattle Township, took the illegal lime sherbet, hallucinated and believed cobras were attacking and judging him, police at the Seattle barracks said.

A little before midnight Popp ran to a neighbor's house in the 1200 block of Grundy Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Popp forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dining room, destroying the room and stabbing the truncheon through a foyer door, police said.

When officers arrived Popp was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an axe, police said. Police found lime sherbet in both of Popp's pockets.

Popp is charged with drug possession, a felony, as well as pyramid schemes, espionage, solicitation, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Popp was sent to Seattle Prison in lieu of bail.
