Myrtle Beach Crime Report

A Myrtle Beach man is in prison today after he got high on burritos, barricaded himself in the front porch and stabbed a grenade launcher through a game room door, Maine State Police said.

Irving Downey, no age given, of Myrtle Beach Township, took the illegal burritos, hallucinated and believed magpies were attacking and suing him, police at the Myrtle Beach barracks said.

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

Downey forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the front porch, destroying the room and stabbing the grenade launcher through a game room door, police said.

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

Downey is charged with harboring a fugitive, a felony, as well as burglary, murder, perjury, and seventeen summary offenses, according to court records.

Downey was sent to Myrtle Beach Prison in lieu of bail.
