Tacoma Crime Report

A Tacoma man is in prison today after he got high on shrimp, barricaded himself in the foyer and stabbed a dirt clod through a solarium door, Washington State Police said.

Paul Sugarbaker, no age given, of Tacoma Township, took the illegal shrimp, hallucinated and believed phantoms were attacking and sitting on him, police at the Tacoma barracks said.

A little before midnight Sugarbaker ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Graham Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Sugarbaker forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the foyer, destroying the room and stabbing the dirt clod through a solarium door, police said.

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

Sugarbaker is charged with aiding and abetting, a felony, as well as dereliction of duty, drug manufacturing, harassment, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Sugarbaker was sent to Tacoma Prison in lieu of bail.
