LACEY, Wash. — Lacey police arrested a man on Tuesday who they believe broke into multiple hospitals Monday morning with a sledgehammer.
Just after 2 a.m. Lacey police were called to South Sound Behavioral Hospital where a man used a sledgehammer to break into the lobby through the front windows.
He then smashed several doors inside the hospital and said he was “Just looking around.” He then ran away.
