Police Report: More Ax Threats in Bay

The latest reports from the Whitefish Bay Police Department.

The 40-year-old Milwaukee man suspected of earlier this month apparently was at it again last week.

The man was cited with disorderly conduct on March 7, when he allegedly threatened a 33-year-old Whitefish Bay man walking his dog at about 1 p.m. The man allegedly threatened him both verbally and with what he believed to be a small ax protruding out of his pocket.

And then on Friday, the same man was suspected of pounding on the back of a vehicle with a small ax or hatchet. He was gone by the time police arrived, but when police went to the man’s house, he voluntarily agreed to turn over the weapon to officers.
