Police have arrested an armed man who demanded election workers “stop the voting” at a polling place in West Bend, Wisconsin.

Around 12:35 p.m. on Tuesday, West Bend Community Memorial Library staff called the West Bend Police Department to report “a male subject in the library armed with a knife demanding for staff to ‘stop the voting,'” police said in a statement.

Officers responded and arrested the 38-year-old without incident, and no one was injured.

Voting at the library was halted for about 30 minutes while officers secured the scene and conducted an initial investigation. The department noted that the incident is under investigation, and charges will be forthcoming.

“All library staff, election officials, and citizens are safe and the polling site is re-opened,” the department said. “The Police Department would like to thank the library staff for taking quick action and voters who waited patiently to vote.”

    I’m glad I live in the country of Florida! The rest seem to be under communist control they have destroyed what used to be an election night, and turned it into an election month!
