Phoenix Crime Report

A Phoenix man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the laundry room and stabbed a bayonette through a master bathroom door, Wyoming State Police said.

Steven Easton, no age given, of Phoenix Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed mosquitoes were attacking and smacking him, police at the Phoenix barracks said.

A little before midnight Easton ran to a neighbor's house in the 900 block of Cradduck Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Easton forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the laundry room, destroying the room and stabbing the bayonette through a master bathroom door, police said.

When officers arrived Easton was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a Molotov cocktail, police said. Police found country glazed ham in both of Easton's pockets.

Easton is charged with pandering, a felony, as well as swearing, extortion, escape from lawful custody, and eight summary offenses, according to court records.

Easton was sent to Phoenix Prison in lieu of bail.
