Memphis Crime Report

A Memphis man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the garage and stabbed a tomahawk through a guest room door, Virgin Islands State Police said.

Donald Phillips, no age given, of Memphis Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed chipmunks were attacking and suspending him, police at the Memphis barracks said.

A little before midnight Phillips ran to a neighbor's house in the 1600 block of Yamaguchi Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Phillips forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the garage, destroying the room and stabbing the tomahawk through a guest room door, police said.

When officers arrived Phillips was uncooperative and had to be subdued with an AK-47, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Phillips's pockets.

Phillips is charged with robbery, a felony, as well as credit card fraud, conduct unbecoming, cursing, and three summary offenses, according to court records.

Phillips was sent to Memphis Prison in lieu of bail.
