On October 25 at 12:13pm, police were dispatched to the Dancing Bear Toys on N 3rd Ave for a disorderly/suspicious male. The male was gone on police arrival and it was reported the male had entered the store in a hyper and agitated state, wanting a lighter. Upon leaving the store, the male remained in front of the store and loudly announced, "I'm going to kill me a Muslim." This behavior alarmed and upset the store employee, who locked the front door and moved their customers to the back of the store.
Based on the description of the suspect, police were able to identify the male as a 40 year old male who is homeless, but lives in the Door County area. Approximately 20 minutes prior to this call, the male had been removed by police from Bridgeport Resort for scaring and upsetting their guests.
Police located the suspect in the downtown area and arrested him for disorderly conduct and bail jumping, due to an open criminal court case. The male was taken to the Door County Jail and booked in on the new criminal charges, and the case was referred to the DA's Office. The suspect is also on probation and the WI Department of Corrections placed a probation hold on him.
