Arvada Crime Report

An Arvada man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the garage and stabbed a slingshot through a den door, Florida State Police said.

Marvin Espinoza, no age given, of Arvada Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed bulls were attacking and thinking about him, police at the Arvada barracks said.

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

Espinoza forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the garage, destroying the room and stabbing the slingshot through a den door, police said.

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

Espinoza is charged with piracy, a felony, as well as minor in possession, being a blithering idiot, amphetamine distribution, and six summary offenses, according to court records.

Espinoza was sent to Arvada Prison in lieu of bail.
