Las Vegas Crime Report

A Las Vegas man is in prison today after he got high on fondue, barricaded himself in the closet and stabbed a grenade launcher through an oubliette door, Missouri State Police said.

Owen Friedman, no age given, of Las Vegas Township, took the illegal fondue, hallucinated and believed ravens were attacking and kissing him, police at the Las Vegas barracks said.

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

Friedman forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the closet, destroying the room and stabbing the grenade launcher through an oubliette door, police said.

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

Friedman is charged with shoplifting, a felony, as well as counterfeiting, murder, vandalism, and eighteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Friedman was sent to Las Vegas Prison in lieu of bail.
