Washington Crime Report

A Washington man is in prison today after he got high on scrambled eggs, barricaded himself in the basement and stabbed a defibrillator through a doghouse door, Utah State Police said.

Preston Brontsky, no age given, of Washington Township, took the illegal scrambled eggs, hallucinated and believed banana slugs were attacking and surprising him, police at the Washington barracks said.

A little before midnight Brontsky ran to a neighbor's house in the 400 block of Fritz Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Brontsky forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the basement, destroying the room and stabbing the defibrillator through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Brontsky was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a lasso, police said. Police found scrambled eggs in both of Brontsky's pockets.

Brontsky is charged with mayhem, a felony, as well as carjacking, assault on a public servant, domestic violence, and twenty summary offenses, according to court records.

Brontsky was sent to Washington Prison in lieu of bail.
