Brownsville Crime Report

A Brownsville man is in prison today after he got high on omelet, barricaded himself in the boiler room and stabbed a pair of bare hands through a doghouse door, West Virginia State Police said.

Rip Bernal, no age given, of Brownsville Township, took the illegal omelet, hallucinated and believed cocker spaniels were attacking and writing him, police at the Brownsville barracks said.

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

Bernal forced his way into the house and barricaded himself in the boiler room, destroying the room and stabbing the pair of bare hands through a doghouse door, police said.

When officers arrived Bernal was uncooperative and had to be subdued with a spit wad, police said. Police found omelet in both of Bernal's pockets.

Bernal is charged with cyber bullying, a felony, as well as indecent exposure, domestic violence, grave robbery, and four summary offenses, according to court records.

Bernal was sent to Brownsville Prison in lieu of bail.
