A man who threatened to hurt police officers with his belt or a gun has been arrested by metro police.

RNC first started getting calls about the man just before 10:00 yesterday morning, saying he was damaging some daycare windows and vandalizing the side of the building.

The man, who was carrying a piece of wood, told officers he was “going to beat the face off you.”‘

As police attempted to arrest him, he issued further threats, claiming he would wrap his belt around the necks of the officers and that he would shoot the arresting officer.

He’s now been charged with mischief, causing a disturbance, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and breach of release order.

He was held for court.
