Man with hammer threatened to kill group at north Lincoln home, police say
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A man was arrested Friday after he threatened a group at a north Lincoln home with a hammer and a knife, police say.
Around 2 a.m., a man called police and said 34-year-old Anthony Grandel was trying to kill his five roommates at a home near 19th and Superior streets.
When officers arrived, they went inside, and got the victims out of the home, police said.
Grandel then barricaded himself in a back room, and officers tried to get him to come out. About 20 minutes later, Grandel was taken into custody.
He was arrested on suspicion of several charges, including second-degree assault and terroristic threats.
