Perth Crime Report

A Perth man is in prison today after he got high on Hamburger Helper, barricaded himself in the dungeon and stabbed an air horn through an outhouse door, Nebraska State Police said.

Siggy Ortiz, no age given, of Perth Township, took the illegal Hamburger Helper, hallucinated and believed androids were attacking and snuggling with him, police at the Perth barracks said.

A little before midnight Ortiz ran to a neighbor's house in the 2300 block of Brontsky Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Ortiz forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the dungeon, destroying the room and stabbing the air horn through an outhouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Ortiz was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a defibrillator, police said. Police found Hamburger Helper in both of Ortiz's pockets.

Ortiz is charged with unlawful assembly, a felony, as well as insubordination, racketeering, forgery, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Ortiz was sent to Perth Prison in lieu of bail.
