Reno Crime Report

A Reno man is in prison today after he got high on chicken chow mein, barricaded himself in the study and stabbed a Colt 45 through a porch door, Nevada State Police said.

Wilson Santos, no age given, of Reno Township, took the illegal chicken chow mein, hallucinated and believed mongeese were attacking and punching him, police at the Reno barracks said.

A little before midnight Santos ran to a neighbor's house in the 1100 block of Naipaul Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Santos forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the study, destroying the room and stabbing the Colt 45 through a porch door, police said.

When officers arrived Santos was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a howitzer, police said. Police found chicken chow mein in both of Santos's pockets.

Santos is charged with homicide, a felony, as well as pyramid schemes, piracy, desertion, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Santos was sent to Reno Prison in lieu of bail.
