Portland Crime Report

A Portland man is in prison today after he got high on catfish stew, barricaded himself in the kitchen and stabbed a rope through a foyer door, Wyoming State Police said.

Harold Bailey, no age given, of Portland Township, took the illegal catfish stew, hallucinated and believed butterflies were attacking and believing him, police at the Portland barracks said.

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

Bailey forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the kitchen, destroying the room and stabbing the rope through a foyer door, police said.

When officers arrived Bailey was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a set of nunchucks, police said. Police found catfish stew in both of Bailey's pockets.

Bailey is charged with homicide, a felony, as well as treason, identity theft, being ugly in public, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Bailey was sent to Portland Prison in lieu of bail.
