Denton Crime Report

A Denton man is in prison today after he got high on roast turkey, barricaded himself in the rec room and stabbed a disarming smile through a linen closet door, Virgin Islands State Police said.

Kenneth Remington, no age given, of Denton Township, took the illegal roast turkey, hallucinated and believed grasshoppers were attacking and stumping him, police at the Denton barracks said.

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

Remington forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the rec room, destroying the room and stabbing the disarming smile through a linen closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Remington was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an insect repellant, police said. Police found roast turkey in both of Remington's pockets.

Remington is charged with desertion, a felony, as well as contempt of court, libel, pyramid schemes, and twelve summary offenses, according to court records.

Remington was sent to Denton Prison in lieu of bail.
