Los Angeles Crime Report

A Los Angeles man is in prison today after he got high on fondue, barricaded himself in the boudoir and stabbed a set of nunchucks through a parlor door, Wyoming State Police said.

Butch Rice, no age given, of Los Angeles Township, took the illegal fondue, hallucinated and believed hawks were attacking and picking him, police at the Los Angeles barracks said.

A little before midnight Rice ran to a neighbor's house in the 2000 block of Lizard Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Rice forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boudoir, destroying the room and stabbing the set of nunchucks through a parlor door, police said.

When officers arrived Rice was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a slingshot, police said. Police found fondue in both of Rice's pockets.

Rice is charged with tax evasion, a felony, as well as aiding and abetting, assault with a deadly weapon, hanky-panky, and nine summary offenses, according to court records.

Rice was sent to Los Angeles Prison in lieu of bail.
