MOBERLY, Mo. (KMIZ) --

A man was arrested after allegedly threatening officers with a screwdriver, knife and a 2-foot metal framing triangle.

Officers with the Moberly Police Department responded to the 1000 block of Sinnock Avenue in Craft Trailer Court shortly before 3 a.m. Friday. A caller reported that Ronald Graupman, 66, threatened to kill a 93-year-old victim.

When they got to the scene, officers heard a man screaming and damaging property. According to a news release, they went into the home and tried to check on the victim.
