Long Beach Crime Report

A Long Beach man is in prison today after he got high on tuna casserole, barricaded himself in the conservatory and stabbed a pistol through a servant's quarters door, Pennsylvania State Police said.

Muerto Romero, no age given, of Long Beach Township, took the illegal tuna casserole, hallucinated and believed eels were attacking and making a face at him, police at the Long Beach barracks said.

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

Romero forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the conservatory, destroying the room and stabbing the pistol through a servant's quarters door, police said.

When officers arrived Romero was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a scimitar, police said. Police found tuna casserole in both of Romero's pockets.

Romero is charged with pandering, a felony, as well as grave robbery, robbery, fabrication of evidence, and seven summary offenses, according to court records.

Romero was sent to Long Beach Prison in lieu of bail.
