Bridgeport Crime Report

A Bridgeport man is in prison today after he got high on country glazed ham, barricaded himself in the game room and stabbed a sling through a tool shed door, Virginia State Police said.

Yancey Hart, no age given, of Bridgeport Township, took the illegal country glazed ham, hallucinated and believed lemurs were attacking and spilling a whiskey on him, police at the Bridgeport barracks said.

A little before midnight Hart ran to a neighbor's house in the 2100 block of Thurston Drive, claiming he was being chased, police said.

Hart forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the game room, destroying the room and stabbing the sling through a tool shed door, police said.

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

Hart is charged with putting the thumb to the nose, a felony, as well as extortion, sedition, embezzlement, and fifteen summary offenses, according to court records.

Hart was sent to Bridgeport Prison in lieu of bail.
