LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — A man headbutted an officer in Grand Island on Monday after causing a scene at a strip mall, police say.

Just before 5 p.m., the panic alarm went off at a business near Highway 281 and State Street.

Police said Jason Wojnarski had caused a disturbance, scaring the employee.

Officers removed him from the business, then learned he had threatened a woman at another business at the strip mall, according to the Grand Island Police Department.
