A 67-year-old Ocean Shores man was arrested after allegedly threatening a neighbor with a stun gun and a knife Friday afternoon, according to a statement from the Ocean Shores Police Department.

At about 1:30 p.m. Friday, officers responded to the 800 block of Ocean Shores Boulevard NW for a report of a man armed with a knife chasing a neighbor, according to Sgt. David McManus.

When the officers arrived the suspect — well known to local law enforcement — had retreated to his apartment and refused to respond to knocks at the door. When reached by phone, the man refused to come out, saying he was afraid the officers were going to arrest him. However, he did invite the officers into his apartment.

“The man was ultimately arrested when two independent witnesses came forward and said they saw the man chasing the victim, waving a stun gun and a knife, yelling that he was going to cut and kill the victim,” said McManus. “The weapon, an Ulu knife, was recovered from the man’s apartment.”

McManus said the suspect was reportedly intoxicated and was very belligerent with the arresting officers. The suspect was booked into the Grays Harbor County Jail for second-degree assault, a Class B felony; the prosecutor’s office will determine what charges will be filed after reviewing the report, said McManus.
