Witnesses told police the man was saying he was going to 'grab his gun' and 'shoot up' the building. Original reports said the man was naked, but when police found the man, he was clothed.

Police arrested 21-year -old  Brandon Swatek on multiple charges including reckless discharge of a firearm, making terroristic threats, obstruction, and disorderly conduct.
