Police Beat: Man Threatens to Bring Chemical Weapon to Community Memorial

A 46-year-old unemployed West Allis man was arrested for disorderly conduct after making threats at Community Memorial Hospital, W180N8085 Town Hall Rd.

The man sought treatment at CMH, but became upset with the treatment he eventually received. The man threatened emergency room staff and told them that they had made a “grave mistake,” and said that he would return to the hospital with  “a chemical weapon.” The man made an obscene gesture in front of multiple witnesses in the hospital and left on foot.

Falls police received a call from the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department about the disorderly man, and arrested the man in the parking lot after arriving on the scene.

The man was booked, cited and later released. CMH is seeking a restraining order against the man.
