Police Department , officers responded to reports of a man threatening a worker at the Ridgewood Condos on Slater Ave. NE at around 2:20 p.m.
Authorities say the suspect was wielding a rifle in one hand, and a large sword in the other while he threatened to kill a condo employee during an argument. When police arrived, he barricaded himself inside his apartment, which led to a standoff that lasted an hour and 20 minutes. The suspect eventually surrendered, was arrested without incident and booked into jail for felony harassment.
The KPD says after obtaining a search warrant, their investigators seized the two weapons, in addition to a collection of throwing knives, butterfly knives, pocketknives and a collapsible baton.
