Michigan State Police were called to the area of Skeels and Nichols Roads on Saturday night for man a who was described as acting “erratically,” troopers said.
When troopers got there, they say the man ran into the woods and came back out with a wired device and said he was going to “kill everybody.” People living nearby were evacuated as a precaution.
