Milwaukee Crime Report

A Milwaukee man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a pop gun through a master bedroom door, Indiana State Police said.

Wayne Benton, no age given, of Milwaukee Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed fawns were attacking and controlling him, police at the Milwaukee barracks said.

A little before midnight Benton ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Price Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Benton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the pop gun through a master bedroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Benton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a flashlight, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Benton's pockets.

Benton is charged with being ugly in public, a felony, as well as carjacking, assault with a deadly weapon, harboring a fugitive, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Benton was sent to Milwaukee Prison in lieu of bail.
