An El Paso man is in prison today after he got high on tuna casserole, barricaded himself in the tool shed and stabbed a wrench through a closet door, Utah State Police said.

Royce Popp, no age given, of El Paso Township, took the illegal tuna casserole, hallucinated and believed partridges were attacking and dancing with him, police at the El Paso barracks said.
A little before midnight Popp ran to a neighbor's house in the 1500 block of Skye Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Popp forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the tool shed, destroying the room and stabbing the wrench through a closet door, police said.
When officers arrived Popp was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a weed whacker, police said. Police found tuna casserole in both of Popp's pockets.

Popp is charged with evidence tampering, a felony, as well as being a blithering idiot, unlawful assembly, insubordination, and sixteen summary offenses, according to court records.
Popp was sent to El Paso Prison in lieu of bail.
