Police in Waukee, Wednesday, arrested a man after he allegedly caused a scene at a local business, and sent concerning messages to the Waukee Community School District.

Authorities say Waukee Police say they were called around 3:30-p.m. to Grand Prairie Parkway for a welfare check. The call followed reports of a man who allegedly sent concerning messages to a school district employee. When officers arrived, they talked with the individual, who they say was having a mental health crisis. Police were able to initially de-escalate the situation, but when officers told the man he had to leave the business, the subject became combative. Officers used a taser to safely take him into custody.

The man was booked into the Dallas County Jail on multiple charges. The Waukee Police Chief says “at no time was there any credible threat to any district facility, student, teacher or staff member.”
