MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) Authorities in Wisconsin say a standoff ended after a man who had threatened to shoot police climbed into a ceiling, fell through and was arrested.
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department said the standoff started Sunday just after 4 p.m. with a 911 call for someone “acting strange and paranoid” in Chetek.
At a home on the 1200 block of West Banks Street, officers found a 35-year-old man who “told law enforcement that he had a gun, would shoot them and that he also had an explosive device in the house,” according to the sheriff’s department.
