A bizarre run-in between a man and police ended with a van full of birds. A woman contacted police to notify they that her possibly mentally ill uncle, Rainbow Police Rasphoumy, was regularly going to her house to bother her.
Police located Rasphoumy’s van in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Rasphoumy refused to cooperate with police and tried to hit them with a plastic flute, prompting police to taser him. Rasphoumy was not disabled by the taser and was able to pull out what police now know was a plastic gun. Police responded to the apparent threat with several rounds of shots, none of which hit Rasphoumy.
A SWAT team and negotiators were called when Rasphoumy retreated and locked himself in his van. 45 minutes later, Rasphoumy was convinced to exit the van and arrested. Police found the plastic gun inside the van, along with three parakeets, three chickens, and two ducks.
