Man With Bong Attacks Police Dispatcher

GERMANTOWN, Wis. (6-24-05) - A 22-year-old man was wrestled to the ground in the Germantown Police Department Friday afternoon after threatening a dispatcher with a glass bong and a shotgun, police said.

The man walked into the department and handed a threatening note to the dispatcher at a her window around 5 p.m., police said.

As she read the note, he threw a glass bong at the bulletproof glass, police said. The bong shattered, but the window did not. He then pulled out a shotgun, but three officers using a taser and pepper spray were able to subdue him, police said.

"He did have his finger on the trigger but they were able to control him," said Germantown Police Chief Peter Hoell.

The man had been arrested several times in the past on burglary, disorderly conduct and drug charges, but the motive for Friday's attack was unclear, Hoell said. :confused:

What is this world coming to when a man will shatter a perfectly good bong?

What a loser! why throw a bong? could have shot the glass/people to get attention rather that a bong.. but oh well, some people have issues

wtf did he bring the shotty for? im confused

what did he want from a police dispatcher?

yeah well i bet you a million dollars D.A.R.E. uses this as an example of how marijuana makes you violent

tru,but what was he going to throw at the glass to get their attention,a crack stem?

Maybe he meant to do a bong and then give them a shotgun. We're all anxiously awaiting his post here.

Commonsence would say Use the shotgun first then when you run out of bullets and only then would you use your smoking peice as a weapon...
