Pueblo Crime Report

A Pueblo man is in prison today after he got high on borscht, barricaded himself in the linen closet and stabbed an air freshener through a boudoir door, Puerto Rico State Police said.

Zachary Sims, no age given, of Pueblo Township, took the illegal borscht, hallucinated and believed honeybees were attacking and blinking at him, police at the Pueblo barracks said.

A little before midnight Sims ran to a neighbor's house in the 2400 block of Dodds Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Sims forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the linen closet, destroying the room and stabbing the air freshener through a boudoir door, police said.

When officers arrived Sims was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a switchblade, police said. Police found borscht in both of Sims's pockets.

Sims is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a felony, as well as insurance fraud, being a blithering idiot, hate crimes, and eleven summary offenses, according to court records.

Sims was sent to Pueblo Prison in lieu of bail.
