A Cedar Rapids man allegedly pointed a replica AK-47 at officers responding to a burglary call and threatened to kill them.
The Gazette reports that 38-year-old Jeremy Haines lives on the southeast side of Cdar Rapids, and the victim lives at the same house number. Saturday, Haines reportedly ripped a Ring doorbell off the man’s home, kicked in the dead-bolted door and kicked the victim in the face.
Arriving officers saw Haines come out the side door of his residence and allegedly pointed a long gun at the officers and threatened to kill them. The gun was later identified as an AK-47 replica BB gun.
Haines was taken to the Linn County Jail where he faces charges of 1st degree Burglary with Bodily Injury, two counts of Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations, two counts of 1st degree Harassment, and 4th degree Criminal Mischief. If convicted on all charges, Haines could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison.
