SPANAWAY, Wash. — The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) says a man is in custody after he was seen wielding a large knife and threatening to kill others at Spanaway Lake Park on Friday night.
Deputies and a K9 unit responded to the park at around 7:15 p.m. after county workers called 911.
“He was chasing after cars and trying to stab people,” a county worker told deputies.
A K9 named Coda found the 56-year-old suspect hiding in some bushes near a walking path, PSCO said.
The man was arrested and is now facing charges of first-degree assault.
