Salt Lake City Crime Report

A Salt Lake City man is in prison today after he got high on hash, barricaded himself in the hall and stabbed an aspersion through a linen closet door, Louisiana State Police said.

Johnny Portwine, no age given, of Salt Lake City Township, took the illegal hash, hallucinated and believed jellyfish were attacking and chasing him, police at the Salt Lake City barracks said.

A little before midnight Portwine ran to a neighbor's house in the 2200 block of Sahoo Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Portwine forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the hall, destroying the room and stabbing the aspersion through a linen closet door, police said.

When officers arrived Portwine was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a can opener, police said. Police found hash in both of Portwine's pockets.

Portwine is charged with DUI, a felony, as well as voluntary manslaughter, insurance fraud, false reporting, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Portwine was sent to Salt Lake City Prison in lieu of bail.
