PORT ANGELES – A Port Angeles man was arrested after allegedly threatening people with a sledgehammer.

61-year-old Ed Horner was arrested yesterday morning.

Port Angeles police were called to a disturbance at an apartment building near 18th and “N” streets.

Horner was first arrested for an unrelated warrant. But as officers remained on scene, they developed probable cause to believe Horner had earlier armed himself with a sledgehammer, raised it, and threatened to strike two separate victims.

Property was also damaged during the incident. The investigation is ongoing. Horner will make a first appearance in court today.
