KENOSHA, Wis. — A 67-year-old Racine man was arrested Thursday evening after making a bomb threat at a Kenosha Pick 'n Save store, according to police.
Officers were called to the store, located at 2811 St. 18th St, at around 4:30 p.m. Thursday for reports of the man "making statements about blowing things up and shooting at police officers."
Police officers were able to remove the man from the store without incident, according to a news release from the Kenosha Police Department.
A "threaded metal pipe" and wires were found in the man's car, but they were determined not to be explosive.
The store was evacuated and closed for about 3.5 hours while police investigated, the news release says.
Charges of making terroristic threats and bomb scares are pending with the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office.
