An Indiana man sought for throwing a hatchet at people in a park was found after an hours-long search through Bloomington's storm sewer system Tuesday — where investigators recovered a hand scythe, machete and rifle cartridges.
Bloomington Police on Wednesday shared a breakdown of the events that led to Tuesday's manhunt, saying it kicked off with a 911 call at around 9:30 a.m. about a man swinging a steel rod at several individuals.While en route to the park, officers received a report that the suspect had gone to a vehicle in a nearby Kroger parking lot and retrieved a hatchet then walked back to the same individuals in the park and threw the hatchet at them, police said.
Officers yelled into the drain, ordering the man to exit. He yelled back claiming that he was armed with a rifle and threatened to shoot officers if they followed him in, according to police. The multi-agency search effort took hours, with special equipment used to inspect the sewers and officers removing manholes from the streets.
A City of Bloomington Utilities camera was also deployed into the storm sewer in the area of North Indiana Avenue and East 6th Street. Once 500 feet into the storm sewer, officers observed a man matching the suspect’s description on the camera, believed to be in the area under Kirkwood Avenue, police said.
