Running with Weapon

Shortly before midnight Wednesday officers responded to a weapons call with a twist. Police received a report that someone was seen running on the roof of a building in the 11-hundred block of Idylwyld Drive carrying a weapon described as a crowbar or pipe. Patrol officers tracked a suspect to the corner of 33rd Street and Idylwyld Drive North. They seized a broom handle with a knife taped to it, brass knuckles and Fentanyl. A 35 year old man is facing weapons and drug charges.
